Build confidence through a foundation of skills such as dribbling, passing, receiving, and shooting
-
Use fun activities that build fundamental movement skills such as agility, balance, coordination, and speed
-
Promote decision-making, creativity and resilience through small sided games
-
Advance tactical understanding such as creating space and decision making in game realistic scenarios
-
Develop the thinking of ‘When’, ‘Where’ and ‘How’ to perform skills, and to understand attacking and defending principles
