WABA mod systems

WABA where fun is #1

​

WABA was created to elevate US soccer youth participation and development to competitive world standards by gamifying and incentivizing practice while making it fun for all ages and skill levels. This revolutionary and innovative system accelerates mastery by customizing 1:1 player development goals and curriculums in a written progress plan while engaging players in cutting edge training methods. Monthly mastery goals integrated with WABA's player development model are guided by a pro coach/mentor using trackable objective standards. 

​

The WABA mod (modular) system empowers athletes to guide their own training needs by choosing practice and game sessions that accentuate their individual strengths, growth areas, and field position desires. Each mod is a 45 minute training or small sided game that can be combined to create a 45-180 minute integrated daily practice plan. Mods are combined in ways that make them a progressive and comprehensive development experience.

​

WABA development modules address the building blocks needed to play soccer at any level: recreational. club, elite, development academy, high school, college, PDL, or Pro. The website sections that follow explain current and future WABA mods and how they dovetail into realizing your soccer goals.

WABA top-it 2500

Top-IT 2500 was developed to empower soccer players with the most comprehensive skills training on the planet. Five minute instruction videos overlaying all four VARK learning models combined with WABA formato and WABA games create learning paths up to 50% more effective than traditional training. This combined methodology is the backbone of Top-IT technical skills mastery and the WABA System. Engagement and challenges are increased through video recording and tracking activities with objective metrics to attempt to beat your personal best, peers, and pros around the globe. WABA's proprietary FASSTT™ practice method builds thick muscle myelin increasing maximum quickness and tempo with varying repetitive practice activities enabling skills to imbed in the subconscious.   

Formato

WABA Formato are sequences of soccer skills that are learned through WABA's trademarked FASSTTT practice method and then performed in a defined sequence as well as a freestyle sequence created by each individual athlete. This method is much like the kata's and form's used to learn and practice most martial arts. Like Taekwondo, WABA Formato has 24 forms/formats that comprise mastery of 212 skills. Players are tested for mastery of these forms and awarded certificates and patches for successful completion of Formato 1-24, Formato 1-24 Freestyle, and Formato 25-48 Pro.
