The 7-a-side game - played at Under 13 and below - offers its own challenges for the coach.

As well as the need to develop a base of modern skills, tactics and strategies must also be

introduced if match play is to be successful.

This course interprets the most modern skills and strategies into a form that can be realistically

coached to this age group.

It aims to develop skilful players, who become part of successful teams.
