Ages 11-18
Spain's players are known for keeping the ball, moving with purpose and making fast decisions. That isn't talent alone. It's how they're coached from a young age.
Over three days, players complete six sessions with Primer Toque CF coaches, in a dedicated group of up to 12 players. Sessions are delivered in English and Spanish.
The focus isn't training volume. It's understanding why Spanish players do what they do, then applying it under pressure.
The Sprint teaches the methodology. If you want a full assessment of your level, see our Player Assessment.
The Primer Toque CF methodology is built on technical quality, intelligent decision-making and understanding the game. Across six sessions, players work on:
Where to stand, how to create space, and how players work together to create advantages.
How positioning and movement create passing options and help the team move the ball forward.
Combinations that use movement away from the ball to create the next pass.
When, where and why to press, instead of simply chasing the ball.
What to do in the moments when possession changes, in attack and in defence.
Recognizing situations earlier, thinking faster and choosing better under pressure.
The value isn't just six training sessions. It's a new way of understanding the game that your player keeps using at home.

After Spain, I came back seeing the game differently. I’m more composed on the ball, I understand space better, and I’m thinking about my next action before the ball arrives.

For players, groups and clubs who want firsthand experience of Spanish coaching without committing to a longer program.
It's intensive. Players need to listen, process information quickly and perform under pressure across two sessions a day.
For most players, three days is a complete learning experience. For some, it's the beginning of a longer relationship with the club.
