UD FUTSAL FOUNDATION PROGRAMME (6-9 YRS) - MONTHLY HIGHLIGHTS
UD FUTSAL FOUNDATION PROGRAMME (AGES 6-9)
As we approach the end of our Futsal Season in early July, we wanted to share a quick update on how our Foundation and Development sessions progressed throughout June.
Over the past month, both programmes have shifted focus toward creating match-realistic scenarios. Each session has been carefully planned to mirror real-game situations, allowing players to think, react, and make decisions under match conditions. This approach is helping our players build confidence and improve their understanding of the game in a competitive context. Making our players always ready for any match situation. By simulating game scenarios and delivering drills at match tempo, our players are not only developing faster but also becoming more composed and intelligent in their play. These experiences are proving invaluable as they prepare for real matches.
It's also important to highlight that everything our players are learning through Futsal directly supports their development in football – whether that's 7-a-side or 11-a-side. We've constantly seen that players who engage in both Futsal and Football gain a clear advantage. Their technical skills, speed of thought, and overall game awareness improve significantly.
We’re incredibly proud of how our Futsal players are progressing. Week in and week out, they show great enthusiasm and commitment, and it’s been fantastic to see such high attendance and passion for the game. This only reinforces how important Futsal is to our UD Community, and we’re excited about what lies ahead for this programme in the new season.
If you haven’t yet experienced our Futsal Programme and would like to give it a try, feel free to get in touch at denerson@uniteddragonsfc.com. Our Futsal Manager will be happy to talk you through the benefits and help you get started.
