This weekend was certainly one to remember. We had all our sessions running and our teams played matches! In which one of the best free-kicks we’ve ever seen was scored! The whole weekend was full of amazing moments that create memories to last a lifetime.
We have grown our new Cheshunt venue and cannot wait to hold our first session in our brand-new Southwark venue very soon… We are always looking to improve here at Pro Elite and we saw that in full flow this weekend!
Indoor Football Sessions
In our 18 months – 3, and 3 – 5-year-old classes we worked on agility, balance and coordination as well as our “little kicks”. We think it is very important to make sure our superstars learn different movements from a young age to enhance their movement abilities. Also practising close control of the football is fundamental at Pro Elite.
In our 5 – 7-year-old classes our focus this week was learning new skill patterns and 1v1’s. We used some of the ball mastery work in our 1v1’s so our superstars could understand how to get past their opponent to score. Once we had done this we then took this into our small-sided matches. We saw fantastic 1v1 ability which shows how much each superstar is learning.
Development Football Sessions
In our development centres, we aim to get our superstars to love the football and learn how to compete. We do this through various different activities. This week we focused on some core skills to enhance confidence with the football and ball control. We also worked on 1v1s and 2v2s. This is to make sure the children learn how to compete with one another in small-sided game scenarios, but also how to use skills learned previously to effectively get past an opponent.
