The Training Zone


Where serious players gain the extra edge. At Tempo Football, we know that group sessions alone aren’t always enough to reach the highest level — that’s where The Training Zone comes in. This is our elite small-group programme, designed for players who want to increase contact hours, sharpen their technique, and work in a focused, intense environment. With just 6–8 players per session, The Training Zone delivers targeted, high-level coaching tailored to the needs of the individual. Sessions are built around proven methods and designed to push players technically, mentally, and physically — helping them improve the specific elements that can transform their overall game.


🔥 1. Ball Mastery

Mastery of the ball is the foundation of everything. These sessions focus on tight control, manipulation, and movementwith the ball at your feet. Players are challenged with repetitive high-tempo drills that develop confidence in tight spaces, quick feet, and the ability to play under pressure. We incorporate elements of both freestyle and game-realistic movement to help players dominate 1v1s and become more efficient with the ball.


🎯 2. Shooting & Finishing

Goals win games — and this part of the Training Zone is built for players who want to become clinical in front of goal. Sessions cover various finishing techniques: from first-time strikes, volleys, and combination play to finishing under pressure and from different angles. Players will develop their composure, decision-making, and movement off the ball, while also improving striking technique with both feet

🎯 3. Passing & Receiving

Possession is nothing without purpose. These sessions are designed to refine short and long-range passing, playing between the lines, and receiving under pressure. We train players to have clean, consistent touches, improve their body shape and awareness before receiving, and deliver passes with accuracy and intention — skills that are essential for players at any position.

⚔️ 4. Defending


Sharpen your defensive instincts with intense sessions focused on positioning, timing, and decision-making. Build the confidence and discipline to lead from the back and stop attacks at source.
