Passing and receiving drill.

🥅 Session(s) of the week

With many new U8 teams getting ready ahead of next season, the Player Development Project has a great summary of key principles for coaching this age group, including 6 session plans. Have a look!

📖 Topic of the week

Last but not least, a useful set of notes on the value of the ‘free man’ and third-man runs.

The Free Man/Third Man Runs Recently made some quick notes on the concept of the free man to share with the guys at the @FanalyticsPod (highly suggest checking them out if you haven´t yet). Nothing to detailed but thought I would share it here if anyone was interested👇

I hope you enjoyed this. Until next time, have a great week!
