Absolute gold. Thanks so much for sharing your experience.
28:51 In my team I do a golden striker. Each team has 1 or 2 players who can shoot,the rest has to look for the striker to pass to in attack, and the defender will learn to mark the man. Endless amounts of progress points
Too much coaches complicate drills complicate talking too. Game of football is simple master the basics
Love it
