Sessions are designed to be fun and educational whilst actively engaging all learners to develop their confidence and technical ability to play football. With teaching tailored to suit each group’s age and ability, players will be taught a different technical skill each week, supported with strategies to develop physical, mental, and social development.

For U6, U7, and U8 groups, ball mastery skills will be promoted each week with opportunities for fun, small-sided games to aid basic understanding of techniques and tactics. For U8 to U11, we will place a closer emphasis on technical and tactical development in opposed situations, set drills to aid combination play, and guide towards more important ques. For U12 and U13, players will experience more problem-solving practices, develop more advanced techniques and tactical awareness. With selective attention developing, players will draw on the experience and show more consistency with decision making.

Skills include running with the ball, shooting, dribbling, passing, attacking, and defensive play in both opposed and unopposed situations. Players will benefit from coaches’ individual feedback and task goals, learn basic tactics and strategies, and develop the confidence to perform under pressure whilst enjoying the beautiful game.
