Tuesday - Players of the day 🏆

OLLIE
Today’s focus was on passing and decision-making, and Ollie really stood out. He showed an excellent understanding of when to pass, confidently switching play into space. In the afternoon matches, he used a fantastic range of accurate passes to consistently find teammates in space. Brilliant work, Ollie!
Mr Axten

ROBBIE
My Player of the Day goes to someone who always keeps the group laughing and isn’t afraid to be a little cheeky 😄
But I’ll let him off, because his decision-making, passing, and dribbling more than make up for it.
Player of the Day goes to Robbie! 👏⚽
Coach Ben

JESSE
My Player of the Day goes to someone who has shown fantastic confidence and skill over the past few days. He has scored some excellent goals, including using advanced techniques like volleys, which has really impressed me. On top of that, he has also performed very well as a goalkeeper, showing great versatility and commitment to the team. So, my Player of the Day is Jesse well done!

Monday: Player of the day 🏆

RODDY
Today’s focus was dribbling to move effectively through space. My player of the day showed excellent balance when attacking 1v1 and had the ability to change direction at speed. This helps him to transition the ball quickly into the attacking areas. It was equally pleasing to see him making good decisions on when to dribble and when to pass to maintain possession. My player of the day is RODDY!
Mr Axten

THEO
My player of the day goes to someone that has shown very good defending and attacking during our 1v1 drills today and has also been very kind to the whole group during our first day and has always been the first one to offer help. My player of the day goes to Theo!
Coach Ben

ISSAC
My Player of the Day goes to someone who has not only has he shown great technical ability, but he has also worked incredibly hard for his teammates and shown a real willingness to defend. On top of that, he has been extremely helpful throughout the day and has consistently listened and responded well so my player of the day goes to Issac!
