ACADEMY
This week is ATTACKING week with a focus on scoring goals at the second post (back post). Goals in this are help eliminate the goalkeeper. Awareness, movement, timing, weight of the pass and execution are key to this.
Now that light nights are back and the kids are off schoool, we encourage our players to do additional work from home by accessing the 7mlc site on YouTube. Individual practice is vital for any aspiring footballer and mastering the fundamentals can be done from home and in their own time. The 7mlc content is fantastic and there's a reason why he has nearly 2m followers. It is also free!! You can access it all here:

TEAMS
First Team: The first team made it to the final of the Scottish Cup after an 8-3 victory over FC33 in Dundee. The guys started the match really well and were in a commanding position after 28 minutes, but lost 3 goals in a bad 4 minute spell. We responded really well and dealt with the threat of the fly GK much better and scored some fantastic goals to win 8-3.
Man of the Match was Calum Peddie, who scored to fantastic goals.
B Team: The B Team are not back in action until a League Cup match the 13th of May. We will be looking for a league and cup double.
Under 16's: The u16's remain top of the league with Joga Futsal still to play in what could be a title decider in the u16 National League.
Youth Teams: The 2012/13's represented the club very well in the Scossie Cup. The found the physical differences of playing a year up a challenge but will take great learning from the event. There are no team activities next Sunday due to an event at Michael Woods.
Our 3v3's returned yesterday. The 3v3's are vital for a number of reasons.
Well done to all of our winners:
