First Touch Unlimited – Development Program

The central aim of our development program is to encourage children to spend longer working with the ball, practicing and developing their skills. Everything that we do has this in mind and at First Touch Unlimited training sessions almost all of the time will be spent working on developing proper technique, speed and agility, and creativity.

The program, under the direction of Chris Doré, has evolved into what we believe is the most complete development course in the Cleveland area. The First Touch Unlimited syllabus covers every area of soccer and futsal, and while our coaching is by no means exclusively limited to advanced players, our overall intentions are to create quality within the game while participating in a FUN learning environment.

Players will receive semi-private instruction from Cleveland’s best coaches.

Part of our philosophy is centered on keeping a realistic coach: player ratio. We take pride in results, and in order to achieve these results it is mandatory that the children receive the proper attention they deserve. Skills from basic to complex are broken down into easily learnable phases for children, taught and repeated many times until the young player becomes accomplished at performing these skills first as individuals and then gradually against other children in game situations.

We believe that children do not spend enough time training, they may spend numerous hours playing matches, but generally they do not dedicate enough time working on their skills. Players will be put in situations where hard work, dedication, and discipline are a MUST! Here are some of the main areas in which we can help your young player…
