Overview

Our youngest travel players learn to love the ball. Sessions are built around ball mastery, first touch and 1v1 moves, with as many touches per player as possible. Games are small-sided, so every child is involved in every play.

What Players Work On

  • Ball mastery and comfort with both feet
  • First touch and change of direction
  • 1v1 attacking and defending
  • Small-sided games every session
  • Families involved and teammates who grow up together
