This session looks at developing your young players' knowledge of the game and positions through play to help them identify all seven positions and their respective working areas.
Learning through games will improve your team's knowledge of the game without them even realising and will lay the foundations for future development as players use the rules to their advantage and link this knowledge to basic tactics.
