ACADEMY
This week is a bit of fun with some game changers and a focus on awareness, movement and rotations off of the ball. This was something that was highlighted with Scotland in the World Cup. In my opinion, our players are too static and fixed in positions where the top nations are rotating and moving based on how their opponent is set up. The top players problem solve during the game and adapt to different problems. Against Brazil in particular, we looked lost.
Now that light nights are back and the kids are off school, 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:
WEEK OFF
All sessions are off from Sunday the 5th of July to saturday the 11th of July (inclusive). Sessions finish up on Friday the 3rd of July and return on Sunday the 12th.
3v3's are on as normal on Sunday the 5th of July. Team players please update TeamFeePay with your childs attendance.
NOTIFICATION OF CHILD'S ATTENDANCE
Can parents please email or message when their child is not attending a session. Frustratingly, more and more people are failing to send a messageIt doesn't take much to send a messageEspecially over the summer months when numbers are lower.

SMALL GROUP SESSIONS & CAMPS
We are delighted to announce that we have signed up to a new app that allows us to provide feedback on players performance and provide information on what players can do to further develop and take them to the next level.
For us, it is important to provide honest feedback for parents and players who are paying more money for these sessions and we always want to provide value for money.
Feedback will include the following areas:
We are not aware of any local coaching groups going into this level of detail to develop players and at a fraction of the price of 1-2-1 sessions!!!
Book the small group summer camps and register an interest in the new small group sessions that will start in September now.

Now that the adult season have finished, things are a bit quieter with the teams but there are still youth activities taking place over the summer.
Youth Teams: We had some fantastic matches with the 2016's and 2017's playing Strathaven Dynamo last week. It was a really good test agiainst mainly pro players but it also highlighted how futsal knowledge can beat football.
This week we have 3v3 matches and we have 5v5 futsal matches arranged for Sunday the 28th of June.
We are entering tournaments in Aberdeen in July and August and selection for these events will be based on attendance, effort and performance at 3v3's and any other futsal activities.
