SKILL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME (SDP)

Our Skill Development Programme (SDP) every term across the year. SDP training sessions focus on technical skill acquisition and development activities, and incorporate fun small-sided games so players can use their skills in a game context. Our sessions are designed to help our players develop their game further in all of the fundamental areas - ball mastery & control, passing, ball striking and defending. These activities are designed to be enjoyable, while also helping players to develop their football technique, game understanding, general movement and coordination skills.

​

The programme is open to boys and girls aged between 9 and 13, of all abilities. We offer both Mixed and Girls Only programmes. Players sign up individually, and this programme runs separately to your team trainings.

​

We also offer Goalkeeper specific sessions. Find out more information below on all of our SDP offerings.
