Technical Training is the foundation for which all sports are built on, that is especially true in soccer.
By examining the definitions of these words you can see why they would be important to sports development.
Technical - of or relating to proficiency in a practical skill.
Training - activity leading to skilled behavior.
Soccer is unique in the sports world in that even though a ball is used everyone on the field (except the goal keepers) must play primarily with their feet.
Learning to manipulate a soccer ball is difficult enough, when you add to it your movements with the ball as well as defenders who are trying to keep you from your objective. It becomes evident just how Proficient a player will need to become.
Unlike the tactical aspects of soccer the technical side of soccer is much more precise. Where some coaches believe the game is the best teacher for tactical skills most coaches agree continued touches and muscle memory are the keys to good soccer skills.
While creativity in technical soccer skills usually comes from the game. The training of technical skills has to be a main focus of soccer coaches especially in the younger age groups.
The technical skills a young soccer player develops must be detailed and progressive, but even as that player evolves in to greater proficiency the basic details of each technical skill must be revisited from time to time.
Repetition is the key to all technical skills,however if you repeat a soccer skill over and over using poor technique all you are doing is developing a flawed skill.
The key is to try and have players perfect one or two details of a particular soccer skill before progressing to other aspects of the overall skill. One of the best for coaches or players to do this is to observe a skill being preformed than try to make a list of at least five aspects of that skill from first touch to skill completion.
When players and coaches do this almost always they will find well over five things they can improve or perfect, often the list is in the teens.
Try keeping in mind however that while we are trying to make soccer players proficient, if we over analyze a skill it could have a similar effect as if we under analyzed it. Players would become bored and uninterested.
So when you are teaching technical skills it is usually best to have five or six bullet points and to try and teach and perfect them in order,emphasizing mastering one or two before moving on.
One last note: Like students in school not every soccer player learns at the same rate so as a coach you need to identify players who a learning at a more rapid pace and give them new and more difficult skills to learn this way they will stay motivated at the training sessions.
