This clinic precedes the Street League each Friday and is a great way for players to prepare for the different demands of the street/futsal game.

Each Friday we'll train some futsal techniques and principles of attack 1v1 and all permutations up to 5v5. Players that attend each week and concentrate their best will have gained skills and ideas they can successfully apply to the traditional outdoor game, and perhaps the biggest take-away will be that the game belongs to them.

Players can come every Friday or just drop-in when they want. Simply book your visit online then pay cash in person.

Disclaimer:

If you DO NOT participate in this clinic then your child WILL NOT fall behind their peers. In fact studies* have shown that kids who have their season extended into the summer via “select soccer programs” and anything like them involving a continuance of their boring team training and pointless tournament play will experience an array of symptoms that include; mental fatigue, physical fatigue, less love for soccer, and possible resentment for having to miss swim parties and beach days; common refrains will be “I don't wanna...”, “Do I have to?”, “Can't I skip it tonight?”, many players will elect to quit the game altogether before their teenage years, even worse some will abandon the game to take up skateboarding because skateboarding culture is historically rebellious, peer directed, and usually done without adult involvement. Don't let your soccer players become skateboarders. Take the summer off and return to your club teams in later August, rested and excited to see friends and play soccer again, but if you don't heed our advice then come to our Friday night Street Soccer clinic where freedom, skill, and players owning the game are central to everything we do.

*Studies conducted by Paul and John growing up in the game in the 80s and 90s when everything was simpler, slower, and kids had more freedom.
