    This program offers committed, focused, hard working ETFC players an opportunity to work on individual technical development. The focus of the ETFC Center for Excellence will be on individual technical development. It will allow players to work with different coaches, and players from different age groups exposing them different voices and new friends. Each seasonal phase will add a different focus such as Finishing, Defending, Combination Play, Dribbling and Attacking moves.
    Each seasonal phase (Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter) will have 6 sessions on Friday evenings or Saturday mornings. The sessions will be 90 minutes long. The Center of Excellence will be directed by Bryn Dennehy. He will add coaches as needed and bring in guest coaches from time to time.
    Cost of the Program: Each phase will cost $120 for the 6 sessions. Individual sessions will cost $30 and have to be registered directly with the Director.

    Fall Phase: Focus will be almost exclusively on individual technical components of passing and receiving with various surfaces of the feet. Different passing techniques such as driving, chipping, bending w/inside and outside of the foot. Controlling the ball out of the air. We will introduce small group passing combinations. We will work on moving and receiving the ball, passing and receiving the ball while moving. Give and go?s, in-back-through?s, overlaps, underlaps, third person runs.
