This program, led by club coaches David Robertson, Mark Toruguson and Alex Park allows the field players to challenge the goalies in a number of fun games like situations, all working towards a goal.
Throughout each six-week block the training will cover, Volleys, headers, crossing& finishing, twin strikers, 1 on 1’s, free kicks and penalties. While working on each concept players will be given constant repetition that will improve their timing, finesse and general ball striking technique. It is therefore important to stress that this program is beneficial to all players (not just strikers) and thus we encourage all players to attend.
