Soccer Boxes

---

Most “footwork” training is choreographed. Soccer isn’t.

In games, players don’t lose because they can’t do a ladder pattern. They lose because they can’t absorb force, stay balanced, and control the ball while reacting to real pressure.

Turf Box fixes that.

The box forces a stable base and clean movement mechanics while training first touch at a height that demands correct body shape. Every rep ends with a soccer action: touch → turn → exit → accelerate.

What changes fast:

• Cleaner deceleration and sharper cuts
• Better balance in contact and tackles
• First touch that moves you into space
• Faster decisions because your body is stable

Female athletes face higher ACL injury risk. Hoping for the best isn’t a plan.

Turf Box training emphasizes landing mechanics, deceleration control, hip/trunk stability, and reactive change of direction—the exact movement qualities that reduce non-contact injury risk while improving on-field performance.

Built into every session:

• Controlled landings (“own the landing”)
• Knee alignment and trunk stability coaching
• Decel → cut → accelerate mechanics
• First touch under instability (real soccer conditions)

Train safer. Move better. Play faster.

This isn’t a random collection of drills. It’s a 12-week system built around three outcomes that translate directly to match performance:

1. Balance & Control — stable landings, strong base, body alignment
2. Multi-Directional Speed — acceleration, deceleration, cuts, re-acceleration
3. First Touch Under Pressure — receive and escape, not trap and panic

• Warm-up + movement prep (10 min)
• Turf Box circuit: balance + agility + touch (15 min)
• Transfer: rondos / 1v1 / passing under pressure (20 min)
• Game application: small-sided constraints (10 min)
• Cooldown + review (5 min)

• First touch success rate into space
• Balance breaks per set (stumbles don’t count as reps)
• Decision accuracy on reactive cues
• Completion rate under pressure (not “looks good”)
