Melbourne’s #1 footwork & 3v3 academy since 2006
Take your game to the next level
The game is ultimately played with your head, but this is not possible without the ability to interact with the ball at an ‘elite’ sub-conscious level. Repetitive footwork practice and regular exposure to playing in tight spaces (2v1s, 1v1s,2v2s etc) leads to better decisions and better use of space. In other words, you become a better player. If you want to take your ability on the ball up a level then you need to get to TST. The first session is a free no obligation session.
Great footwork is not about moves. It is about space.
TST is the perfect complement to club training. We build touch, footwork, intelligent use of space and confidence on the ball to a level club training cannot reach.
Sessions are small group, ensuring players maximize touches and exposure to football problems.

TST will take your game to the next level
A great touch
Putting the ball exactly where you want it, at the speed you want it — on every touch.
Efficient footwork
The game is about space. Good players move the ball from one space to another effectively and efficiently..
On the ball intelligence
Touch and footwork count for nothing without knowing which space is the best space to use.
Off the ball intelligence
Players spend most of the game off the ball. 3v3s create the environment to develop scanning, positioning and movement.
All of these combined enhance your ability to play in tight spaces.
Technical development programs
Sessions are grouped by day, age and level so you can see at a glance which one suits your child. Every group builds confidence, touch, footwork and individual game intelligence.
