We focus on the fundamental/core skills (agility, balance and coordination) to teach the children through a football aimed focus that will enhance their understanding and knowledge of what SSG (small sided games) look like by the time they get to U7s.

​

With that in mind sessions will include:

​

• Movement and chasing games – to encourage awareness and dodging skills.

• Ball mastery – learning to manipulate the balls using different parts of both feet including, dribbling, turning and skill based topics.

• 1v1 scenarios – exposed to defending & attacking, escaping against other players by wriggling, twisting and turning away from defenders and stealing the ball from attackers by poking, stealing and forcing mistakes.

• Striking skills – learning to use different parts of the foot to strike at a target

• Receiving skills – understand that a moving ball will travel towards players to have the ability to control the ball with both feet.

• SSG – 2v2, 3v3 & 4v4 scenarios to apply the above.

​

​

The sessions are coached in a safe and fun environment that will challenge the players at the appropriate level, aiding their continual development within our programme.

​

Included in the MW payment subscription for the season will be a training kit (shirt, shorts and jumper), season ticket (allocated by end of September), mascot opportunities, weekly prizes, end of season awards/tournament.
