U19 Skills Series - Learn Through Play (Intermediate to Advance Level)
This program is designed for high school athletes who want to sharpen their skills and raise their in-game IQ. Each session blends focused teaching with live gameplay, so players learn by doing and immediately apply new concepts in action.
The first hour introduces a specific game scenario and breaks it down through explanations and targeted drills. The second hour is dedicated to small-sided scrimmages, giving players the chance to experiment, make decisions under pressure, and put new skills into practice right away.
Coaches are active on the field during scrimmages, modelling techniques, giving quick feedback, and highlighting the finer details of leadership, communication, and smart decision-making.
This program is the perfect environment for U19 athletes who want to push their game forward while learning in a competitive but supportive setting.
