Stay sharp in the off season - End of season maintenance

Starting your pre-season early or getting your players ready for a summer tournament? If so this session is sure to tick all the boxes as we work on a wide variety of skills to ensure your players are sharp and in shape!

To blow away the cobwebs this fun competitive session gets your players to refresh their running with the ball, turning, shooting and defending skills through 1v1 competitive drills, a possession game and finally a one-touch finishing small-sided game.

These physically demanding practices will allow you to gauge the fitness levels of your players and their ability to use close ball control when tired - something that will be essential when playing on smaller tournament sized pitches!

Don't start this season slowly - teach your players to twist and turn like Ronaldo with this sharp skills session!
