Why do we train indoors and outdoors at We Make Footballers?

As one of the most popular sports in the world, football (or soccer for our American friends) is played by millions of people of all ages and skill levels. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, football training is essential to improve your skills, build your fitness, and enhance your overall performance on the field.

But what does football training entail, and why is it so important to train both inside and outside like we do at We Make Footballers? Let's break it down.

Indoor football training typically involves honing specific skills such as dribbling, passing, shooting, and defending. This can be done through drills, scrimmages, and other exercises that focus on developing specific techniques and movements. Indoor training can also include strength and conditioning exercises that help players build endurance, speed, and agility.

However, while indoor training is vital, it is not enough to make you a well-rounded player. That's where outdoor football training comes in. Outdoor training is critical for improving your game strategy, teamwork, and overall performance. It allows players to practice on a larger field with varying terrain and weather conditions, which can enhance their skills and adaptability.

Moreover, outdoor football training also provides a more realistic game-like environment that can help players improve their decision-making skills, reaction times, and ability to anticipate movements.

It's important to note that football training should be tailored to the individual player's needs and skill level. Beginners may need to focus more on basic techniques and conditioning, while more experienced players may benefit from more advanced drills and strategy-based exercises.

In summary, football training is essential to become a better player, and it should include both indoor and outdoor exercises. By training inside, players can focus on honing specific skills and building strength and endurance. By training outside, they can put those skills into practice in a more realistic game-like environment and improve their game strategy and teamwork.

So, whether you're a professional footballer or just someone who loves the sport, make sure you incorporate both indoor and outdoor training into your routine. With consistent practice and dedication, you can become a more skilled, well-rounded player and take your game to the next level. Book a free introductory session with us to see it in practise.
