This week's skill refresher session is ideal for beginners or out of practice players, as we aim to get players to snap out of the mid-season slump and improve their core game skills.
What's in the Session?
To get the ball rolling we get your players' hands warm, challenging them to pass the ball up 'n' over their heads, around their body and through their legs in a figure of 8! Depending on how experienced your players are you can get players to race one another - who'll be the first player to get the ball round their waist 10 times?
Following these ball handling exercises we then start to work on passing and receiving, to develop good quality passing and receiving, before finishing a full court game to tie everything together.

Split circle defence is the system the top three NSL teams have built their identity around in 2026. The Goal Keeper and Goal Defence divide the circle into zones, switch in synchrony, and make every passing option look risky. Here is how to coach it.
