Warm Up P1 (10 mins)

Individual technique - Ball Mastery
Players with a ball each in 15x15 box
Learning:
'Ball Mastery and Controlling Surfaces' curriculum. The idea is simply that the better each player is with the ball at their feet, the better they can play their role in the team. We want our players to enjoy and love being on the ball, developing excellent technical capabilities where they can execute a wide range of moves, tricks and turns and control the ball comfortably especially when under pressure.
Each session has 5 skills for the players to master ranging from static controlling techniques through to complex turns to beat an opponent when traveling with the ball.

6.2 Stepover & Outside Tap
6.3 Stop Tap
