Master the ball - Foundation phase of development

I've put a few you tube clips together of some of the ball mastery skills we have been doing over the last few weeks on a Saturday morning and with the girls on a Friday night  If you can at any time get the kids to practice at home this would be a massive help,  also just kicking a ball against a wall will help with touch and control using both feet  .With  children in the foundation stage its important they spend more time on the ball ,  and you probably noticed a major part of the session is made up of ball mastery (especially Saturday mornings ) .The Football association also  wants 70% ball rolling time ,hope we are getting near this , and hope the kids are enjoying the sessions.

Some small sided games , I think 3 vs 3 is better at the younger ages , more touches of the ball, more decisions to make etc etc
