Why Choose this Course?
The APFC Next is our 11-A-Side mastery course. From the experience of a youth elite level team, learn how to implement a 11-A-Side game model that will help you develop the structure, behaviors, principles and improvement of your team and your players.
Aimed at coaches with basic and advanced knowledge of soccer, this is your course if you want to continue growing as a coach and be able to implement a methodology and game model that generates performance for your team or club. APFC Next is a highly specialized theoretical and practical experience that explains and guides how
to implement a game model (coded game situations) in an U19 elite team of Spain’s top flight. Together with CE Sabadell FC, one of the most important clubs in Catalunya, APFC Next has designed a pathway to finally understand how the game is organized, what game situations must be understood and the training behind it, to eventually dominate them.
The game model laid out in this course emphasizes positional play and associative soccer, finding positional solutions to dominate spaces that constantly appear during the game.
At the conclusion of the APFC NEXT course, the student will get the opportunity to enroll in a mentorship program to create (among other things) a tailor-made game model that fits his/her own needs.
