Why Remo
The Five Essential Soccer Skills
Repetitive Motion (REMOS)
The REMO SOCCER Repetitive Motion Training System helps players achieve game-day mastery by developing the five essential soccer skills:
1) First Touch;
2) Dribbling;
3) Passing;
4) Striking the ball; and,
5) 1 v 1 play.
Mastering these five skills will generate greater ball movement, create more space in which to play, keep pressure on your opponent and win more one on one battles and, ultimately, more games.
Essential Skill #1
First Touch
The most important touch in soccer is the first touch, whether it’s receiving and settling the ball or taking the ball on a dribble. If the first touch is unsuccessful then a player severely limits his or her ability to control the ball. However, if the first touch is mastered, a player is more likely to create time and space to make critical game decisions. With the patent-pending REMO Trainer, a player can get thousands of first touches per week, that will translate to more competitive plays on the field.
Specific skills for first touch include:
Inside Foot
receiving a pass inside the feet along the floor
Outside Foot
receiving a pass outside of the feet along the floor
Sole of Foot
receiving a ball with the sole of the feet
From the Air
receiving a ball from the air with feet
Thighs and Chest
Handling the ball with the thighs and chest
Juggling
juggling touches with all soccer legal parts of the body.
Essential Skill #2
Dribbling
After receiving and settling the ball, competence in dribbling with both feet allows players to utilize their speed and athleticism to their fullest potential. Poor dribbling will make speedy players look just ordinary and will cause average players to be taken completely out of the game.
Specific skills for dribbling include:
Multi touch dribbling
receiving a pass inside the feet along the floor
Running dribbling
receiving a pass outside of the feet along the floor
Sole dribbling
receiving a ball with the sole of the feet
Change of directions
receiving a ball from the air with feet
Attacking 1v1
Handling the ball with the thighs and chest
In and out cuts
Handling the ball with the thighs and chest
Hesitation moves
receiving a ball from the air with feet
and more
juggling touches with all soccer legal parts of the body.
Essential Skill #3
PASSING
Passing the ball is another essential skill. It can determine how many scoring chances a team can create, how often a team is in possession of the ball and how quickly a team can advance the ball down the field. Without passing competency, a team will quickly find itself “out of possession” more than “in possession”.
Specific skills for passing include:
Inside foot pass
receiving a pass inside the feet along the floor
Outside foot pass
receiving a pass outside of the feet along the floor
Driven instep pass
receiving a ball with the sole of the feet
Curl pass
receiving a ball from the air with feet
Chipped pass
Handling the ball with the thighs and chest
Two player combo
Handling the ball with the thighs and chest
Essential Skill #4
STRIKING THE BALL
Correctly striking a soccer ball with authority is the final step in scoring a goal. It’s the last touch on the way to goal and is a technique that needs practice to give a player the best chance of scoring. The REMO Trainer gives players thousands of repetitive motions to ensure they maximize all of their scoring opportunities.
Specific skills for striking the ball include:
Sholeace shooting
receiving a pass inside the feet along the floor
Inside foot (both feet)
receiving a pass outside of the feet along the floor
Volley (both feet)
receiving a ball with the sole of the feet
Outside foot shooting
receiving a ball from the air with feet
Inside foot shooting
Handling the ball with the thighs and chest
Essential Skill #5
1 v 1 Play
Once players have achieved competence in first touch, passing, dribbling, and striking the ball, they need to gain confidence in 1 v 1 play. 1 v 1 play is something that needs to be practiced and repeated for players to be successful in live game situations. Players will learn how to create space for themselves or disguise a 1 v 1 move in a way that will give a clearer path to the goal for them or their team.
Specific skills for 1v1 include:
attacking 1v1 opposed
scissors move, follow my shoulder, double tap
Change of direction
Maradona, Cruyff, pull back & top spin
Hesitation moves
stop/start, hello/goodbye
1v1 Scoring
all 1v1 moves are finished by attempting to score on the REMO trainer
