Tasmanian Islanders Futsal Academy News (Vikings TAS)
This coming summer (November 9th Start) will see the second year of the Tasmanian Islanders Futsal Academy program across Tasmania.
Last summer the very successful Islanders Academy was run solely in the Southern Region with over 100 players benefiting from the elite coaching they received. More than 80 players have gone on from the program to National level competition and also regional outdoor squads due to the rapid improvement they have had.
This year will see 3 additional regions on board with the Islanders Academy Program to enable players from all areas of Tasmania to participate. At the end of the program will see the first ever TASMANIAN ISLANDERS ACADEMY GALA DAY which will see a round robin tournament involving all 4 regions.
The program is a 16 week structured training regime with each week looking at different individual and team aspects of the game.
Within the program several imported guest coaches will play a part – Last season we saw several high profile guest coaches including Jo Burgess (Matildas), Ewerthon Cortez (Serie A Brazilian Futsal Coach), Igor Sao Jose (Glenorchy Knights Imported Brazilian Playmaker), Nick Harrison (Tasmanian Islanders Mens Team).
Our aim with the Islanders Futsal Academy is to provide a well thought and and specific Futsal program to help Tasmanian players develop and hone their skills towards a specific target. The specific target we are training kids towards is preparation for National standard events. The majority of kids in Tasmania play Futsal with no form of regular training and within the Academy program we are looking to provide TOP level coaching to help these players go on to represent their State and of course the pinnacle in any sport representing their Country. The 16 week program will be based on Futsals 4 main training focuses -
• Individual Finishing Skills (Court) and Individual Saving (Goalkeepers)
• Individual Attacking Skills and Attacking as a team
• Individual Marking Skills and defending as a team
• Set Plays (Formation, Dead Ball set ups, Substitution)
All players that complete the Islanders Futsal Academy Program will have access to trial and participate in all State Programs within Vikings Futsal Tasmania.
AGE GROUPS CATERED FOR – 10yrs and under, 12 yrs and under, 14 yrs and under.
