SJEB FC JUNIOR ACADEMY
We are pleased to offer FREE training for Girls & Boys as an introduction to our club. The 23/24 season Junior Academy is for players born in 2016 (U7) & 2017 (U8). We have three locations for the 23/24 season, Total Turf Experience/Rowan, Haddon Heights, Hamilton TWP (South).
During the training sessions players are taught ball mastery skills, turns and 1v1 moves, then put into small sided 1v1, 2v2 games to find their own way to use them on the field. Fewer players in small sided games ensures each player gets more touches on the ball, and has a bigger part of the game. Coaches will follow a curriculum so players are learning new skills each week, in the small sided games there is limited coaching - players are given the opportunity to experiment, try things, and find out what works. No referees, and players keep score (or not), with an emphasis on trying new skills rather than winning. In addition, parents and supporters are asked to stay 50 yards from training to create less of a gallery feel.
