Bridging the gap between recreational and club soccer. Club Director Tim Woodcock will be selecting a small group of hand picked soccer players, male and female, aged between 6-10 who will be professionally trained and coached in a challenging but fun environment. All sessions will be developmentally appropriate to each individual, focusing on technique and tactical awareness used in soccer, therefore physically and mentally preparing each player for the transition from recreational to competitive soccer. Tim Woodcock, Andy Winn, Scott Hamilton and Glen Gamble will personally train this elite group of young players in all aspects of soccer development over a period of 8 weeks.
