Coaching Sessions

Crossing and finishing

Crossing and finishing

Attacking
This is an all-round session for all players – strikers, midfielders, wide players, full-backs, defenders and goalkeepers – and uses the basis of attackers having three separate attempts on goal.
Penalty box battles

Penalty box battles

In Possession
Defending is a skill that needs practice, as much as dribbling or passing. Within that, it’s vital that players win their 1v1 duels, particularly in and around the penalty box.
Defending as a back four unit

Defending as a back four unit

Defending
Get your back four working as a unit, whilst developing a clear understanding of defensive roles. This will create a solidity that is difficult for opposition teams to penetrate, meaning attackers can only create chances by doing something really special.
