Tactical Awareness Consultation (TAC)

 

This virtual class designed to help soccer players of all levels improve their tactical awareness on the pitch.

Led by Coach James Galanis, a renowned soccer coach with over 20 years of experience, TAC is an interactive, one-on-one training session that is conducted via Zoom.

 

During TAC, Coach James will use modern training software to guide students through the essential principles of attacking and defending, as well as the specific roles and responsibilities of each position on the field. By studying these fundamental concepts, students will develop a deeper understanding of how to be tactically aware in all phases of the game.

 

In addition to the standard TAC sessions, students also have the option to send in a full game for analysis for an additional fee. In this analysis, Coach James will review the game with the student, highlighting areas of strength and areas for further development.

 

TAC is a unique and personalized learning experience that is tailored to the individual needs of each student. If you're serious about improving your tactical awareness and taking your soccer game to the next level, TAC is the perfect opportunity. Start your journey towards becoming a more tactical, complete soccer player today.
