In this session we review your players' static and moving passing, by introducing them to some basic team-play principles to improve their footballing fundamentals.
What's in the session?
To ensure passing practice is lively and fun we get your players working in small groups, starting with a through the gates consistency exercise before building up towards some fun exciting conditioned games.
