Back with the 6s & 7s this evening...

Tonight's topic focus was finishing but we built it into game based and relevant practices.

The players worked on striking both a stationary and moving ball but the focus was on technique - simply put... using their laces to strike the ball and hitting it as hard as possible.

Fast furious and loads of repetitions to practice, make mistakes, learn and action.

Well done to all the players but a special shout out to the TOTN 👏

𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗦𝗢𝗢𝗡...
𝗦𝗠𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗚𝗥𝗢𝗨𝗣 𝗦𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 👀

🗓️ Monday evenings
🕖 7pm
📍 Wakefield Football Centre

Do you want your child to get more touches, more repetition and more individual coaching?

Our new Small Group Sessions are designed for players who want to take their development to the next level.

👥 3–4 players per group
⏱️ 1 hour
💷 £15 per player
🎯 Technical mastery + decision making
⚽ Receive • Eliminate • Strike
🧠 Scanning • Perception • Decision Making • Ex*****on
🔥 High repetition • High intensity
• Lots of ball contact

With just 3–4 players per group, we can tailor the session much more closely to each player — working on their individual needs, strengths and areas for development.

Please note: This isn't a 1-to-1.
It's the best of both worlds — individual attention combined with the challenge, competition and interaction of working with other players.

🚨 ONLY 8 PLACES AVAILABLE!
We're looking for 2 groups of 3–4 players, so numbers will be strictly limited.

Interested? Get in touch 📱

"8 players. 2 groups. Maximum development."

Well done to the 8s and 9s this evening - the intensity was bang on 👍⚽

Tonight's focus was combination play to create and finish.

We challenged tye players to provide good support play (create space by moving) and play purposeful passes and combinations like 1-2s.

We also spoke about scanning to understand so that we knew what our next action (pass, dribble shot etc) would be.

Players of the night were Raife and Josh who listen and actioned really well 👊

Our small group session after had 6 players who again brought the intensity, worked hard and took on board some of our details.

The session focus was about breaking the lines through either attacking the space or passing forward.

As the players predominantly play defence all the practices focused on receiving and playing from the back and either into or through midfield.

Fast furious and loads of repetitions to practice, make mistakes, learn and action.

Well done to all and good luck to all the players in their JPL, academy and grassroots games.

Well done to the 6s and 7s this evening! 👏🏼⚽️

Tonight was Duels Night, with a focus on 1v1s. We made the practices competitive by introducing a point-scoring system, giving the players something extra to compete for.

For us, it’s about encouraging the next generation to be brave and confident on the ball — using skills, changes of direction and changes of speed to create separation and eliminate players.

We’re also trying to build a Next Action Mentality into these players from a young age. Make a mistake… so what? What’s next?! 🔄

All of our practices are game-based and predominantly opposed, meaning what we work on in sessions is designed to translate directly into games.

So far, it’s been brilliant to see the development and growing confidence of the players across these age groups. 📈

Well done to Mase and Harley in the first session, and Team Yellow (or Green 😂) in the second hour, who came out victorious in the duel games and mini 3v3 tournament! 🏆

Well done to our U8s & U9s in our Friday night session.

Our focus was duels... 1v1s.

The players worked on receiving to play forwards, receiving with back to play and receiving to play sidewards to create separation.

All the duels were designed to put the players under pressure and were fast and repetitive.

To make it extra competitive we added a points scoring system and the winners of each age group were crowned champions and trainers of the night.

The intensity, effort and willingness to apply the learning was excellent tonight.

At 6pm Jacob and Jonah did a small group session. Because the both of them play predominantly at the back we focused on receiving practices -
1) To drive forward and then pass
2) To receive and play forward quick
3) To cut inside and switch the play

We finished with some receiving to finish.

Again, the session was designed to give the boys high reps both on their strong and weak foot. Nothing fancy or complicated; just working on doing the basics really well.

Another good session in the bank for our youngest ballers - 6s and 7s.

Well done to all the players tonight across both groups - they brought the focus and energy!

Loads of competitive fun last night with point scoring practices - losds of 1v1s, 2v1 and 3v1 overloads and SSGs.

Plenty of good learning, lots of repetition and some great effort from everyone.

Again, well done to all the players — but a special shout-out to our Trainers of the Night! 👏🔥⚽

Ps. Welcome to a couple of new players as well - Alex and Harley who were both fantastic 👊

Well done to all the players tonight 👊🔥⚽

Our topic / focus was receiving with your back to goal.

The players worked on receiving under pressure, where receiving on the half turn wasn’t always possible. The focus was therefore on either:
• Taking an elimination touch to escape pressure
• Securing the ball in front to create distance from the defender
• Using a skill + change of direction + change of speed to separate

After a couple of unopposed practices, the players then had the opportunity to put their learning into action through 1v1s.

The intensity, effort and willingness to apply the learning was excellent tonight.

Well done everyone! 👏

Technical Mastery! Small Groups! Maximum Development!

Our 3–1 sessions are designed for players who want to take their technical ability to the next level.

With just 3 players working with 1 coach, every player receives individual coaching, high repetition, intensity and involvement.

Sessions focus on three key technical actions:
• RECEIVE – first touch, body shape, scanning & receiving under pressure

Players won't just practise skills — they learn when, where and why to use them.
