THIS TERM - Developmental Foundation & Skill Acquisition

Block 1 (Sep-Oct) Your Sole Is Your Hand: real control of the ball with the sole - standing still, then on the move, then with someone trying to take it. "Your sole is your hand."

Block 2 (Nov-Dec) Beating Your Opponent: every player builds a 1v1 move they trust, and learns to read when it is on. "Set them up, then go."

WHAT YOUR CHILD WILL WORK ON

• Sole mastery - rolls, drags and the V-pull
• Control on the move and in a crowded area
• Shielding the ball against a defender
• A 1v1 move of their own: the feint, the chop, the drag-back
• Reading where a defender's weight has settled before going

BY DECEMBER YOU SHOULD SEE

They will have a move, and they will want to show you. Most children come out of the autumn with a move of their own that they perform unprompted in the kitchen.

PLEASE NOTE

Our Monday academy groups move at pace, and not every child will be ready for that straight away. Where a coach feels a player would benefit from more time on the fundamentals, we may invite them to our Wednesday development session instead. It is always a coaching decision taken in the child's interest, and it is never permanent - players move between the two as they progress.

BOOKING

We do not refund missed sessions or partial cancellations.
