About the Session

Our Junior Pro’s arrive for the session with their own Academy Football which allows us to deliver our fun Ball Mastery program and the driving philosophy for this stage of learning to fall in love with the game.

Our ethos is to have the Players gain as many touches on the ball in the session as possible along with the introduction of playing Fun 4’s games.

Fun 4’s – 4 v 4 using a size 3 ball on a small pitch (30m by 20m) with small goals and no goalkeepers.

Benefits to playing Fun 4’s

  • More touches of the ball
  • Dealing with the ball
  • Simpler game
  • More attacking 1 v 1 situations and chances to score
  • Improved decision making
  • Improved confidence
  • Being brave with and without the ball
  • Freedom of expression

Coaches Expectations

Coaches Expectations

  • Have lots of Fun
  • Willingness to learn new games, skills & challenges
  • Interaction with Coaches & peers

Our Coaches

Our coaches are very experienced & love a challenge, but we do not expect every child to be fully involved at first or even after a term. We first must let the Peedie Pro’s get use to their Big new & challenging environment. Once the environment & coaches are familiar, we build confidence which takes time, patience & loads of experience.
