Our 8 week Pre Season Training Programme is designed to support youth players in developing their technique and improving their decision making on the ball ahead of the new season. Through a positive and structured environment, we help players build strong foundations and learn how to apply their skills confidently during games.
- Tuesday is a focused training session, where we create game based scenarios that require players to make lots of decisions while working across the different phases of the game, attacking, defending, and transition. Players develop their technique and understanding in realistic situations that mirror match demands.
- Thursday is game day, where players take what they’ve learned on Tuesday and apply it in real matches. This session is all about putting skills and decisions into action, increasing game intensity, building confidence, and learning through play in a competitive and enjoyable environment.
Players can choose to attend one day, or both days for the full benefit of the programme, combining focused learning with game application.
