Program Overview
Within our Select level, players will learn through; fast paced, game related activities, with a focus on individual technical development and small group partnerships.
Players are encouraged to problem solve using their own creative thoughts, while being comfortable in possession of the ball.

- In Possession
- Attack to Defense Transition / Moment the Ball is Lost
