Academy Sessions & Skills Builder Programme (U5 - U12)​​​​​​​

Dear Parents and Whānau,

We are pleased to share with you the training plan for our Juniors for the upcoming term. Our focus is to provide a safe, enjoyable, and engaging environment where all players are supported to learn and develop while having fun.

The sessions will be led by myself alongside our dedicated Junior coaches. Over the first five weeks, we will run themed sessions that focus on key areas of the game, building skills step by step:

  1. 1v1 → 2v2 → 3v3 – Developing confidence in attacking and defending situations.

  2. Possession-Based Football – Playing together and keeping the ball as a team.

  3. Attacking Transitions – Quick reactions when winning the ball back.

  4. Shooting & Reactions – Finishing skills and decision-making under pressure.

  5. Small-Sided Games – Applying skills in realistic match situations.

From week 6 onwards, our training will begin with a quick warm-up followed by games or mini-tournaments, depending on player numbers on the day. These sessions will be competitive, fun, and inclusive – ensuring that all players are actively involved and leave with a smile.

Thank you for your ongoing support. We are excited about the term ahead and look forward to seeing the kids on the field enjoying their football.

Kind regards,

Leo Villa
