Training Group 1999 - 2000

The group has about 50 players. Generally the training sessions consist of about 10-15 minutes fitness training followed by 30-40 minutes of skills (passing, ball control, movement off the ball, goalkeeping etc). Each session then includes two or three games of 15 minutes. We seek to have balanced teams and the teams are inclusive and of mixed ability and mixed girls and boys.

Training is mostly in English but in the 2008-9 season we had trainers from five countries and players with Flemish, French, English, German, Irish, Spanish, Italian and Swedish as a mother tongue.

The group has improved over the past few years and now does very well in local tournaments in which we generally field two squads. We generally organise a few mini tournaments within the group during the course of the season.
