Winter Skills Lab in The Annex

Elite FT Skills Lab

Take your technical game to the next level in the Elite FT Skills Lab—an exclusive, high-intensity training experience designed for players who want to improve faster. Limited to just 5 players, each session provides individualized coaching, constant feedback, and hundreds of ball touches in a focused training environment. Every activity is completed independently, allowing players of varying ages and skill levels to develop at their own pace while being challenged to reach their technical potential.

Week 1 – Ball Mastery

Build the foundation of every great player by developing exceptional control with every surface of both feet. Increase confidence, coordination, and comfort on the ball through challenging technical exercises.

Week 2 – Speed on the Ball

Learn to control the ball at top speed. Players will improve quickness, ball manipulation, and the ability to dribble with confidence while maintaining close control under pressure and in tight spaces.

Week 3 – First Touch

A great first touch creates the next play. Players will learn to receive the ball with purpose, positioning it for their next pass, dribble, or shot instead of simply stopping it.

Week 4 – Soccer IQ

Train your mind as much as your feet. Through Elite FT's Fast Feet equipment, players will improve scanning, awareness, decision-making, and the ability to think one step ahead of the game.
