KEY AREAS OF DEVELOPMENT
Personal Development
Team sports allows individuals to grow their inter-personal and intra-personal skills. Learning areas include leadership, teamwork, confidence, communication, and social interactions. Positive role models are provided to encourage and empower the participants on their learning journey.
Skills and Tactics
Developing skills and decision making through out every session. Participants are continuously encouraged to practise the key focus areas including dribbling, positioning, passing, shooting, receiving, tackling, juggling and heading. We encourage all individuals involved to actively participate in making decisions and taking control of their own learning. They are provided with a safe environment in order to be able to ask questions without judgment.

We encourage all participants, coaches, and families to be continuous and active contributors in our community.This is achieved through other programs we offer such as Referee program, Soccer Mums Program, Community club Development Program Stronger leaders’ program (in collaboration with Talk Out Loud), and coach development programs.
