Training

Organisation

Most groups train on a Friday night

From September 2020, our U8s will train on a Wednesday evening. All other groups will train on a Friday evening.

We train in small groups, grouped by age and ability

Apart from the U8s, all training groups are made up of children from two school years – U10s, U12s and U14s. To ensure that each player benefits from focused training, training groups are split into smaller groups based on ability, as determined by the coaches, during the training sessions. This ensures that each player develops to the best of their ability and at their own pace.

Goalkeepers primarily train with their age group

Unless attending dedicated goalkeeper training (see dates below), goalkeepers should attend the outfield training session for their age group, in their goalkeeping kit.

We will email parents if a training session is cancelled

We train in all weathers unless the conditions make training dangerous. If we need to cancel training we will let you know by email. Please check your email before leaving home, particularly on frosty evenings.
