VFA | Elite Development Program For Student Athletes
Launched in the January of 2015, the Vancouver Futsal Association is
proud to continue offering its Elite Development Program for student
athletes.
The training is provided to students across the lower mainland, and they
will earn their Physical Education credits through this program. The Elite
Development Program is held in partnership with the Richmond Virtual
School Board.
Alexander Elliott and Michael D?Agostino are the head staff of on-court
training, along with coach Nick Dasovic. Cody Low is head of High
Performance in gym training. You can find more about us on page 3.
Fortius Sport Burnaby
In 2010, Elliott and D?Agostino started the Vancouver Futsal Association
to encourage the lower mainland?s youth to start embracing futsal as an
important aspect of soccer player development.
The benefits playing futsal provide for young soccer players are endless.
Since a futsal ball is smaller and heavier than a soccer ball, the game is
played mainly on the surface, encouraging players more ball-touches and
quicker decisions. This makes the ball move quicker, allowing players to
shift and feint their way out of small spaces.
Futsal has been one of the best development tools for soccer
powerhouses such as Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Italy and Germany. It has
been documented that professional players in those countries practiced
futsal in their youth.
Our focus on improving individual skill and physical speed, strength, and
agility gives a solid basis from which players develop on a technical,
physical and tactical level. We are excited to have youth soccer players
reap the benefits of futsal-training in our court.

OVERVIEW OF TRAINING COMPONENTS
ELITE TECHNICAL ON COURT TRAINING COMPONENT
Elite Development provides an
opportunity for players to hone in on
the technical side of the game. We
try to have players leave their
comfort zone and correct bad habits
they may have picked up over the
years. By breaking down techniques
into smaller elements, we identify the
specific parts each player is
struggling with on a given technique.
For example, we cover components
of how to deliver an elite pass. This
includes posture, balance, power
generation and breathing patterns.
We try to instill consistency in
players?technique-delivery through
breaking down each component and
gaining a full understanding of what
is required to develop specific
techniques.
In addition to on-court sessions, Elite
Development gives players time in
the High Performance centre. This is
when they work on their strength,
balance and power, as well as
recovery and stretching.
Sessions include two main components:
- Education and repetition of Individual technical work
- Futsal game-based practical relating to the session?s technical focus
Dribbling with a futsal-specific emphasis
- Escaping pressure and finding space through change of direction
- Directional sole touches
- Using the sole for awareness-purposes
- Tightening the timing of touches to accommodate the smaller playing area
- The postural focus of dribbling in order to stay balanced and absorb body contact
correctly
- Explosive movements in tight spaces to beat defenders or open up
passing/shooting lanes
The body posture and mechanics within passing technique
- Firing the correct muscles
- Creating the correct breathing patterns
- Correct posture - learning how to maintain core stability
- Extending sweet spots - guiding passes over punching passes
- Breaking down the process of passing. Pre-pass, impact, and post pass
- Teaching elite passing techniques to increase passing repertoire
The body posture and mechanics within finishing techniques
The High Performance component
directly relates to the on-court
training. The body mechanics
fine-tuned through the HP are what
enables players to perform the
specific techniques the VFA portion
will teach. The HP component will
also help the players do these
techniques at a faster rate, with more
power and with consistency.
- Firing the correct muscles
- Creating the correct breathing patterns
- Driving your body goal directed to increase finishing percentages
- Breaking down the process of finishing. Pre-shot, impact, and post shot
- How to increase finishing percentages through situational understanding
The body position and awareness to create personal possessional
advantages when on the ball, through futsal emphasis
- Shielding the dribble
- Creating body position advantages while defending
- How to position yourself in various 50/50 scenarios
- How to use your arms properly to ?body out? players to increase time and space Using your surroundings to increase possession advantages

OVERVIEW OF TRAINING COMPONENTS
OFF COURT TRAINING COMPONENTS
Wellness Component
Wellness will play a large part in the program and staff will be able to
review with the athletes after each cycle to increase awareness of
overall body awareness. Our goal is to make sure the athletes stay
healthy, limit loss of practice or playing time due to injuries, while
improving flexibility, strength, and mobility. Athletes with issues
preventing full participation will be integrated into off court
programming to help with rehab and recovery and fitness. The wellness
component will include yoga and Pilates courses.
High-Performance Component
All players will go through an individual assessment that takes into
consideration their strength, flexibility, power, agility, mobility, and
balance. This will help the on and off court staff improve weaknesses
and maximize strengths while helping to minimize risk to injury and
overuse.
Tactical Analysis Component
Players will get the chance to break down film analysis and clips of top
professional matches and learn systems of play that relate to their own
positions on the field. The staff coaches will break down the games for
the players on both a micro and macro level in order to gain insight
from both perspectives.
