The programs

Programs

Four ways to train. Pick the path that fits your player, everything runs on Sydney's North Shore.

The method

The Method

How every session runs. We don't overcomplicate development, every session is built on the two things that actually make young players better.

01

Technical work

Every session opens with 30 minutes of ball mastery and first touch. The unglamorous reps that build real technique, done every single week.

02

Small-sided games

Then we play. Small-sided games give kids more touches, more decisions and more 1v1s than any drill, and they are the fastest way young players improve. It is the part of football they actually remember.

The main program

Training Squads.

Group sessions built around ball mastery and body coordination, running before and after school every week through the school term. The perfect supplement to your player's team training.
