⚽ HATRICK IS BACK… AND HE HAS THIS WEEK’S CHALLENGE!

Our SAE players have already met Hatrick 👀⚽ — now he’s ready to get to work!

Each week, Hatrick will bring our players a fun SAE Skills Challenge that connects with what we are learning at training.

🎯 THIS WEEK’S SKILL: JUGGLING

WALT – We Are Learning To:
⚽ Learn the fundamentals of juggling and controlling the football.

Why is juggling important?
It helps develop:
👣 Touch & coordination
⚽ Ball control
⚖️ Balance
💪 Confidence with the ball

HATRICK’S CHALLENGE

Start with ONE TOUCH + CATCH.

Once you've got it, try:
2 touches → catch
3 touches → catch
Then keep building!

How many can you get? 👀⚽

Parents, encourage your player to practise for a few minutes during the week. Take a quick video of them having a go and share it in our group so we can celebrate their progress together.

Remember — it's not about being the best. It's about having a go, practising and improving.

CREATE – Try and develop the skill.
CONNECT – Practise with your whānau or friends.
CONTRIBUTE – Share your challenge and encourage someone else.

Let’s go SAE! ⚽🔥

CREATE • CONNECT • CONTRIBUTE

Just a little glimpse of last week: what goes on behind the scenes at the programme 😊 📸

Progress isn’t always about big leaps, simply about staying grounded, staying consistent, and showing up.

3 sessions completed on a Monday. That’s how we roll. 👊🔥

There is nothing more powerful than investing in the next generation.

The SAE Bridging Programme is currently in its building phase. We’re excited to see how the seeds being planted today take shape into something meaningful 🌱

⚽ Homeschool Fun Football & Movement Skills is here! We're excited to welcome homeschool families to a fun, inclusive programme where children can build confidence, develop football and movement skills, make new friends, and enjoy being active in a supportive environment.

Whether your child is new to football or already loves the game, everyone is welcome!
