Small Groups
Key info on Small group football training
Our small group sessions are a great way for your child to work with other players on skills in an environment where they can push each other to succeed.
These sessions are about working with one another to improve technically with the benefit of having other similarly able players to play in conjunction with, just like at the weekend.
Group sizes range from 4 to 8 players (5 or more means 2 coaches) and everything can be tailored to the needs of the individuals within the group.
