CCFC Summer Programme: 16 – 19 Coaching Camps

Over the summer, Manchester County FA are delivering a series of football coaching sessions for 16 – 19 year olds. The sessions are aimed specifically at delivering a week packed full of technical and tactical development for those age groups. Groups will cover development for young people in Passing (short & long), Finishing, Receiving & Control and Dribbling.

All the sessions within the week will focus on delivering topics from the game and improving technical understanding, tactical decision making and game related scenarios all relevant to the game and situations players find themselves in.
