Session #2 :  The goal of this session is to move away from individualism and towards good game functional fundamental technique, high awareness and good decision making when playing.

 

Again there will be 4 groups (1 per corner). Group #1 will be predominantly the younger players (2009/2008s), and then the other groups will go all the way up to the oldest players (2003s). In these sessions the objective is to develop more intelligent players at a first principles level. Players may still do footwork or weak foot work, or off the ball work, if the coach thinks it is necessary...but it is all about helping players be better in intelligence based games. [3v1s, 4v2s, 5v3s, directional rondos / games with bounce options, and constraint based games will be played - see the videos below for a snap shot of what might be done in these sessions].

 

The goal of this session is to move away from individualism and towards good game functional fundamental technique, high awareness and good decision making when playing. Players in these sessions will be expected to also do homework to ensure that their game functional footwork (and touch, dexterity, balance etc) is smooth, fast, and instinctive. Without this extra practice, accelerating development will be difficult. We would expect players in this session to want to do the extra practice.
