Even if you've already decided which players should make up your Starting Lineup there's no harm in giving your players the opportunity to show you how they've developed as players - providing you with a clear understanding of your players' skills and their ability to interact with other players in a game situation to produce team driven outcomes.
To get things started this session opens with some fast hands and passing down the line exercises. Once everyone is nicely warmed up we then get stuck into the small sided conditioned games, designed to simulate playing against a team with a weak player (developing players' ability to scan, change the point of attack and Communicate!)
Give your players a chance to show you what they're made of and find out who should be in your Starting Lineup!
