Game day ⚽️

This morning we hosted Chants U8s in a great game to watch, with lots of great football on show! Every girl should be proud 🙌🏼

Our parents player of the match went to Amaiah. Today she worked tirelessly all over the pitch making some huge tackles but going forward she was unstoppable. Grabbing herself 5 goals but it was her link up play that impressed the most putting some great passes together which unlocked the goal for others to get goals, and a special pass to Tilly for her to score in her first ever match which was 1 of 4 assists🔥 Amaiah is sponsored by Re-let property maintenance

Our coaches player of the match went to Neave. Today was her first ever football match and she did amazingly. She made some great dribbles down the pitch, really worked hard to get back and put down tackles in. Helping Hallie to keep that clean sheet but she also like Amaiah put some really good passes In that had purpose 🔥

Training came a day early this week as the girls showcased their skills in front of the camera for coach Tom’s podcast 📸

Today we started off with a quick warm up of some close control dribbling where we had to listen to instructions, wether that be switch balls with someone else, but your elbow on the ball or your nose!!
We then switched to a favourite of the girls which is Elsa and we are impressed of how all the girls footwork and skills improve every time, not to mention their decision making.
We then moved onto another favourite game which was Moana and Ariel with some great forfeits for the losing team but also meant we saw some great shots with weaker foots!
Before finishing off on a really well battled match that had it all.

Our trainers of the week are Betsy, she couldn’t wait to tell us she’s been practising at home and it certainly showed as her dribbling and shooting was outstanding, and in the match she was an absolute rock tackling anything and anyone that came near her, but also made sure she was always in space and ready to receive the ball⚽️ Betsy is sponsored by Explorer Travel Holidays by Kelsey

And Lilly, she turned up with bundles of energy and it didn’t slow down all session. With some fantastic footwork in all the games and some brilliant striking but she also showcased her team work as she came up with some great ideas to win the games. When it came to the match she was all over from great dribbles and shots to smart well timed tackles🔥 Lilly is sponsored by HW Yorkshire Plumbing

The girls are very much ready for the season 🔥🔥

Better late than never!!

This weeks training we started off with some fun and greatly contested 1 on 1 games. Looking at how to beat a player in that situation but also how to defend in the same situation. We then moved onto dribbling to and from certain safe zones to gains points while the defenders tried winning the ball back between zones to then score. We finished off with a match where the pitch was shortened and worked hard on the girls using space, we went onto finish with next goal wins which finished with a penalty after a dubious handball👀

Our trainer of the week goes to Lucia, in the 1 on 1 sessions and the dribbling game she showed great technique to beat a player and score or defend. She really stepped up in the match as she went in goal and was like a cat, I lost count on how many great saves she made while being brave 🔥 Lucia is sponsored by ProGen
