GIRLS DEVELOPMENT CENTRES

Our new weekly programme is for Girls aged 6 or 7 (Year 1 or Year 2) interested in further developing their football ability and skills, training in weekly sessions through the remainder of the 24/25 season, with the option of then becoming part of a team and entering a competitive league from next season 25/26. These sessions are run by Charlie Dune, our Professional Development Phase Lead and Rachel Manley, First Team Women’s player.

With that in mind sessions will include:

• Ball mastery – learning to manipulate the balls using different parts of both feet including, dribbling, turning and skill based topics.
• 1v1 scenarios – exposed to defending & attacking, escaping against other players by wriggling, twisting and turning away from defenders and stealing the ball from attackers by poking, stealing and forcing mistakes.
• Striking skills – learning to use different parts of the foot to strike the ball in finishing and long distance passing scenarios.
• Overloads and underloads (att/def) – understand when to stay on the ball or combine with team-mates to create attacks and keep possession or defend by delaying, pressing or disrupting the play.
• Receiving skills – learning to use both feet in different ways to space pressure.
• SSG – e.g 3v3/5v5 scenarios to challenge decision making
