🎉 Session 759: Mini Ballers - Copy the Leader, Avoid the Crocs & Race to the Zones!

This Mini Ballers (U8) session focuses on developing dribbling skills through fun and engaging activities. In practice one, we start with a "Copy the Leader" game where players must mimic their partner’s dribbling moves. Practice two is the exciting "Crocs in the River" game, where players dribble through a designated area, avoiding being tagged by the "crocodiles." Lastly, we have a reaction-based dribbling game, where players must listen for the coach’s call and quickly dribble into the correct zone. These games not only build dribbling skills but also improve awareness and decision-making in a fun, supportive environment.

🎉 Session 756: Mini Ballers - Through the Gates, Knock the Cones & Dance Moves!

This fun and engaging passing-focused session for our Mini Ballers is all about developing accuracy and teamwork! We kick off with a lively warm-up where players aim to knock over cones by passing the ball, helping them focus on accuracy and control. Next, we move into a paired passing practice, where players work together to pass between gates, reinforcing precision and communication. We finish with a playful possession game, where defenders have to dance if they can't regain the ball, keeping everyone smiling while honing those passing and possession skills. This session will boost players' passing abilities, confidence, and enjoyment of the game!
