Elite Pro Training Method

Elite training is an individual age-appropriate training. It is intended to teach mastery of the fundamentals and advanced skills, as well as when to apply the skills learned to a competitive match. Athletes are placed in groups based on equal or similar psychological, physical, technical, and tactical skill levels of their peers.

The Training Method:
  • Provide a level of confidence and self esteem for the athlete.
  • Raise the level of competition during training session.  
  • Create the environment for the athletes to be creative and learn at a pace conducive to their development 
  • Enhance the athlete’s technical, tactical strength and improves the weaker areas of the athlete skill level.  

We believe Individual training should be fun and enjoyable. We tend to associate individual training with monotonous drills and lengthy explanations coaches, but not at Uhuru!

At Elite Training we find it to be very effective and motivational to match athletes against athletes with similar technical and tactical level during training. This method of developing footballers will challenge them to always improve on their past performance and create a very competitive training environment.
