Development Centres

The FDS Development Centres are for selected players, who attend training once a week to develop their technical skills with the ball.  These Centres are local to the player and training focusses on individual improvement.  These sessions are not a replacement for local club football, but instead are an add on for players showing the talent and attitude to benefit from the specialist coaching on offer.

The areas of the game that we concentrate on are Ball Mastery, Dribbling Tricks and beating players 1 v 1, Turning to protect the ball and Passing and Receiving.  These areas are developed through repetition and focussed practice during the session and are further developed through the use of Small-Sided Games, usually 3v3 and 4v4 to maximise touches and encourage positive descision making.
