The focus for this session is on keeping the ball moving. Through drills and games this Sportplan training aims to get your junior players timing their runs and pacing their passes to ensure the ball never stops moving around the pitch!
Seeing as it may have been a while since your players last picked up sticks this session works on a number of skills, with a continued focus on ball movement throughout.
Try this session with your players today and get your teams up to speed!
