OKOTOKS UNITED SKILL CENTRE

Mastering the 1v1: Small Group Training. Maximum Development.

Welcome to the Okotoks United Skill Centre: where players of all levels build confidence, sharpen their technique, and learn to dominate in 1v1 situations outside of regular team training and games.

This season, our 4-week training blocks focus on mastering one of the most important moments in soccer: the 1v1 battle. Each block develops players' ability to attack, defend, and make decisions in game-realistic scenarios.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW:

The Skill Centre offers small-group, high-impact training designed to elevate every player's individual performance.

Each session is led by TD Thiago, Coach Tomas, and/or Coach Mack, delivering expert instruction in a challenging, engaging environment.

Program Highlights:

• Small groups (max. 10-12 players) for focused, personalized development

• Groups divided by age and skill level (Competitive / Recreational streams)

• 4-week themed blocks focused on key 1v1 scenarios:

  • Attacking & finishing

  • Defending principles

  • Winger play & wide duels

  • Midfield decision-making under pressure

• Core 1v1 situations taught throughout:

  • Face-to-face; Side-to-side; Back-to-back

• Available to players born in 2018 and older (U9-U18)

GOALKEEPER INTEGRATION

Select training blocks will include goalkeeper-specific sessions led by Coach Mack, incorporating realistic 1v1 scenarios involving goalkeepers to enhance both attacking and defensive outcomes. We will specify when blocks have this goalkeeper element.
