Under 12 – Under 17 Program
PVLFC aims to focus on building a solid foundation of technical skill dealing with the development of the 4 functional game skills;
- First touch
- Striking the ball
- Running with the ball
- 1 v 1
These core skills account for most of the actions on the pitch during a game, so continued training of these will allow them to perform effectively during a game.
Additionally the development of tactical awareness, perception and decision making through game related approach to training forms an important part of the higher age groups.
Off-season Development
At the conclusion of the season, a number of our Juniors expressed an interest in Futsal.. Great support by parents and coaches has helped make this a success and has greatly improved their close-quarter skills.
