TSF Inter Academy Technical Testing Medals Program

TSF Academy has developed an innovative program, utilising state of the art technology to measure players proficiency in the execution of key technical skills, critical in the overall performance required to be a success in soccer. The cumulative result gives a realistic, objective measure of a player's technical ability to execute the skills which form the basis of our training and development program. Such measurements allow us to track development, and give players an objective analysis of their ball-handling ability, based upon their skill-performance test scores. To improve their score, players must practice thus encouraging players to spend time with the ball outside of practice. Encouraging players to practice skill development on their own is an essential element of player development.

The program allows children to quantify their ability allowing them to take more responsibility for their development. A structured, progressive tiring system enables players to understand what they need to do to reach a higher level and set realistic goals for improvement.

Technical Skills tested include:

On completion of the technical testing medals program all players will receive participation certification awards.
