FOUR PHASES. ONE METHOD.
Every Yoshi TDP year is structured into four 3-month phases. Each phase builds on the last — from fundamental technique to match-ready exposure in front of scouts.
01
TECHNICAL FOUNDATIONS

BALL MASTERY
1v1
POSITIONAL

Daily ball mastery, 1v1 fundamentals, first-touch under pressure, and positional play basics. We build the technical floor every Yoshi player stands on — the non-negotiables that European academies expect.

GAME IQ
VIDEO ANALYSIS
SET PIECES
ROLE PLAY
Game IQ, set pieces, role-specific tactics, and video analysis. Players learn to read the game — not just play it. Weekly tactical reviews, position-specific coaching, and small-sided matches under instruction.
