What's in the session?
Five fun drills to get players working both individually and as a team. Games in this session include body ball, sleeping giant and It's my zone - and develop players' close control, ability to look up when dribbling and using a change of pace when on the ball.
This session finishes with a small-sided game of 5v5 to allow players to put their newly improved skills to the test in a match situation.
