SOCCER SCIENCE
At SPSI we base our training, testing and match analysis on the scientific method. The player development plan is based on the results of the objective performance measurements of the player during the game readiness testing and match analysis.
Players and parents receive reports of the periodic testing and match analysis and are given feedback and goals for the next period. The key performance indicators of basic skills performance, soccer-specific fitness, and technical, tactical, and physical match performance are compared to expected values and then discussed to set objectives for development.
