Summer Academy - Day 4 Review

(Due to technical difficulties, this is a late post)

Thursday saw the keepers working on the final 2 coaching topics of the week, distribution (from hands & feet) and reaction saves. As young goalkeepers progress onto playing full 11 a side, mastering distribution is a key skill. A goalkeeper who is comfortable with the ball at his/her feet is a big asset to any squad. Not only is a goalkeeper the last line of defence, he/she is the first line of attack.

Coaches Challenge Score -
Keepers 2 - Coaches 2


Today the coaches showed exactly why they have been favourites since Day 1. Sublime finishing & world class saves made light work of a surprisingly lackluster keepers side. That result means we go into tomorrow with it all square. 1 more challenge, the decider, taking place on the last day of the camp.

Who will take home the glory of the much cherished title - Coaches Challenge Winners, Coaches or Keepers? Find out tomorrow!
