Skills Centre are a New Zealand Football accredited program aimed at developing football players year-round with a specific focus on technical development

The Selwyn United Skills Centre vision is to create an environment for players to have access to high quality coaching and develop as individuals regardless of a player’s motivation or ability.

The aim is to develop a foundation programme that sits underneath the Talent Centre with sessions specifically designed to affect all areas of the players development in a positive way.

Selwyn United are a member of a few selected clubs able to deliver Skills Centre’s in the region.

Philosophy

• Individual Development of a player where the outcome is technical  improvement
• Training sessions within the Skill Centre reflect individual skill development with SSGs (4v4) and Skill Practices
• Accelerate the technical development of our players to compensate for the lack of:
  – Hours – formal and informal
  – Playing with and against best players
• Open entry – but does require a level of commitment
• Gives the opportunity to raise standards of Junior Football

What is it?

• Individualised development programme for 8 to 11-year-old boys and girls to accelerate the skills of the Kiwi footballer.
• To assemble highly motivated, committed and skilled players together with highly qualified coaches.
• Term 4 (summer) programme designed for the ‘future’ football player.

Who is it for?:

• Players who wish develop their skills with highly qualified coaches
• Players who wish to add to their football skills outside of their usual club sessions
