At Mass Juniors we coach in a way that gives each player a chance to have a maximum amount of time spent practising with the ball.

As you will see this speeds up technical development in each player very quickly.

At a young age, we are not concerned with players losing the ball, conceding goals; we want them to try tricks 1v1 and dribble in games. This is the only way they will improve.

As a parent observing the sessions, please try not to coach your child. This may sound strange, but this is the method of top premier league academies such as manchester united. Children learn quicker by playing as much as they can and making lots of mistakes.

You will never hear any of the coaches criticising or telling players what they 'should have done' - it wastes valuable learning time on the ball!

You will see the benefits!

Please help us to create this environment and think about the players as 'learners' not mini adults that have to win!

Thanks!
