TUTOR SESSIONS Individual/Team training One-on-one training is the best way to get a player to learn specific drills that pertain to the exact position desired. It is also the best way to focus and work hard because the coach is specifically planning out drills just for the player. Scott Horta enjoys coaching one-on-one training sessions because he can get the best out of a player, which will help to improve on all possible aspects of the game. Team or small group (2-6) training is also a great way to improve players skills in a game like environment. Healthy competition is important in a player s development and will only make each player work harder. Scott Horta runs the tutor sessions.
