Joga Bonito Technical Training is more than just practice — it is a complete system of high-intensity, detail-focused player development designed to elevate every aspect of the modern footballer. Built on the foundation of precision, creativity, and discipline, our program replicates the pace and demands of the real game while sharpening the technical skills that separate good players from great ones. Every session is carefully structured to maximize ball contact, decision-making, and execution under pressure. Players are immersed in a fast-paced environment where intensity is the standard and quality is never compromised. From the first whistle to the final repetition, athletes are challenged with game-relevant drills that combine speed, creativity, and technical excellence — ensuring progress that is both rapid and lasting. Our methodology emphasizes repetition with purpose. Each movement, touch, and action is corrected, refined, and perfected. Coaches demand precision, but they also create an environment where players are encouraged to express themselves, take risks, and unlock their creativity. This balance builds confidence while also developing discipline, work rate, and resilience. Sessions are designed to push players beyond their comfort zones — high-tempo technical circuits, small-sided scenarios, and competitive challenges test players mentally and physically, preparing them to perform at their best when it matters most. Whether it’s mastering tight control, increasing speed of play, or refining advanced skills, players leave every session sharper, stronger, and more confident in their abilities. At Joga Bonito, high intensity and quality are not just words — they are the standard. Our mission is to build complete players who are fearless on the ball, intelligent in their decisions, and relentless in their pursuit of excellence.
GOALKEEPER training

At Joga Bonito, our goalkeeper program is led by Coach Ali, the Director of Goalkeeping, whose extensive experience spans the Sri Lanka National Team, collegiate soccer, and professional play with the Maryland Bobcats. With this elite background, Coach Ali brings a deep understanding of the game’s demands and is committed to developing a fearless new generation of goalkeepers. Having grown up in the style of Brazilian goalkeeper coaching, Coach Ali blends South American flair with modern technical precision. His training style is built on repetitive, purposeful movements designed to form strong habits under pressure. Through this approach, our keepers develop the muscle memory and mental sharpness needed to excel in high-pressure match situations. Our philosophy is rooted in creating fearless, confident, and proactive goalkeepers. Players are encouraged to: Be aggressive off their line to close down space and command their penalty area. Dominate aerial situations with authority and precision. Read the game and initiate counterattacks with quick, accurate distribution. At Joga Bonito, we believe that a goalkeeper is not just the last line of defense, but also the first line of attack. Every session is designed to prepare our keepers to protect the net with bravery while also sparking offensive opportunities for their team. Through our methodology, we aim to build keepers who combine technical excellence, tactical awareness, and fearless mentality—ready to lead from the back and change the game.
SPEED AND PERFORMANCE
TAUGHT BY COACH BRUNO
Price: From $35 per session
Time: 1 Hour 15 Min
Max: 4 Players per Group
Ages: 8+
Our program is designed to help athletes become faster and more explosive by developing strength, power, and speed while incorporating injury-prevention strategies. The goal is to maximize athletic performance on the field. The program is tailored for athletes ages 10–18+ with a focus on soccer players of all positions. Our guiding principle is progressive overload within a planned program that respects the athlete’s seasonal schedule. This approach helps prevent fatigue and burnout while ensuring consistent progress. Younger athletes (10–14): Focus on building a strong foundation of movement quality, coordination, and good training habits. Older athletes (15+): Training shifts toward performance-driven outcomes: explosive strength, speed, high-intensity conditioning, and in-game endurance. The strength component of the program follows a well-rounded athletic model that emphasizes functional strength to support peak athletic performance. Program Structure (Periodization Model) Pre-Season: • Build higher strength and conditioning capacity. • Emphasis on heavy loads and higher reps to establish a benchmark for the season. In-Season: • Focus shifts to maintaining strength while reducing training stress. • Lower reps, lighter loads, increased attention to mobility and injury prevention. Goal: athletes reach peak performance during the final weeks and competitive tournaments. Recommended Frequency: 2 sessions per week for optimal speed and strength development.
TODDLERS TRAINING
TAUGHT BY COACH MADDOX
Price: From $130 a month
Time: 45 Minutes
Max: 10 Players per Group
Ages: 3-5
Our Joga Bonito Toddlers Program is designed to introduce the game in the most natural way for young children — through fun, play, and movement. The focus at this age is not competition, but creating an exciting environment where toddlers feel joyful, engaged, and eager to explore with the ball at their feet. Every session is built around activities that keep the children moving, laughing, and learning. The goal is for toddlers to get as many touches on the ball as possible while also developing fundamental motor skills like balance, coordination, agility, and body awareness. These early skills are the foundation not only for soccer, but for all athletic development as children grow. Our coaches use creative games, themed activities, and simple challenges that capture the imagination while teaching basic soccer movements — dribbling, kicking, stopping, and turning. This approach ensures toddlers build comfort with the ball while also improving their ability to control and use their bodies with confidence. Most importantly, we make sure every child leaves each session with a smile on their face and a love for the game. The Toddlers Program is about more than soccer — it’s about sparking a lifelong enjoyment of movement, teamwork, and play.
