We had a fantastic session this week and after our regular Bull Dog warm up we divided the children into three smaller groups with each group concentrating on different key skills. In the 'coach to coach' drill the children in the red team put together almost 200 passes - an astonishing amount at this age so well done everyone.

The Yellow team executed their drills brilliantly, with new recruit Reuben Nichols outstanding on his first outing with the U6's. Finally, our blue team excelled in both understanding and ability playing 'Red Arrows' 'Run catch and pass' and Round the Bend!

Towards the end of the session the children played individual matches within their new groups and we were treated to some excellent performances from Jinx Brash, Jago Stokes & Marcus Mansfield - well done everyone.

The new revised format seemed to have worked, giving all of the children more game time with ball in hand and so we anticipate it becoming a feature of training as we move forward and hone the children's skills.

Well done to Jinx Brash, Ben Saunders and Marcus Mansfield who all won player of the week trophies and also to Teddy Jerges, Toby Barton, Monty Burr, Henry Watts & Reuben Nichols who's efforts were rewarded with special mentions.
