3 Weeks To Go ⚽️
With just 3 weeks to go until the new U7s season kicks off, today’s training continued our focus on helping the boys express themselves, make decisions and play with confidence.
We created two patterns of play and split the boys into two groups, each with a different focus.
🔵 Group 1: Protecting the football and being inventive with their passing choices.
🔵 Group 2: Making committed runs to receive the ball, while learning to scan the pitch and identify space before receiving.
I also introduced a fun new element today the double run. We used Jude Bellingham’s second goal against Norway at the World Cup as our reference point, showing the boys how one movement can create space for another.
The boys are really starting to understand that football isn't just about what you do when you have the ball it’s about movement, scanning, creating space and making decisions before the ball arrives.
Only 2 more training weeks until the big one…
🔥 The local derby against Stamford
The countdown is on. ⚽️💙
