Weekly Update

September 8, 2026

ACADEMY

We had a really successful week with the first girls only and new Ninos session going extremely well. I am excited about the future of those groups!!

This week is BALL RETENTION week with a focus on creating overloads and rotations. Rotations are becoming more important in football with more teams going man for man and a lot of the movements being used at the top level come from futsal.

Russell is in for an operation on Thursday and is likely to be off coaching duties for the next 2 weeks. Please show the coaches the same respect as Russell and make their life easier over the next fortnight.

SMALL GROUP SESSIONS

We ran pilot camps over the summer and the feedback was excellent. 90 minute session that include ball mastery, mastering the fundamentals, speed and agility, game related coaching, fotball specific fitness. Every player also gets personalised feedback.

We are starting with 4 Small Group Sessions at Caledonia High School in October with the intention to add more in the future.
