Under 7 & Under 8 age groups?

We hope you enjoy the tournament and leave you with the words of Pete Sturgess, the lead coach for the FA for the foundation ages, a hugely experienced coach on what he believes coaches of young players should be focussing on;

“We MUST prioritise individual possession (the ability to travel, dribble, turn, screen, shield and spin) ahead of passing, teamwork in the Early Foundation phase. A great technical, decision making and physical capability can be built on afterwards but to skim over or worse, pay lip service to this development should be avoided at all costs. Come on, we need buy in from our coaches, adults and volunteers at all levels of the game so that we can facilitate change. Enough is enough, lets produce a different kind of player. I also need someone to come up with a feasible argument AGAINST what I am advocating. If you can I will listen and consider.”.
