UD JUNIOR FOUNDATION PROGRAMME (4-5 YRS) - MONTHLY HIGHLIGHTS

JUNIOR FOUNDATION PROGRAMME (AGES 4-5YRS) CO-ED

March 2024

With the month of March marking our final month of the UD Spring Term, our Junior Foundation players at UD have diligently focused on enhancing their skills in passing and dribbling, vital components of their attacking skill sets. Building upon the groundwork laid in January, where they concentrated on these fundamental techniques, our players have delved deeper into the intricacies of decision-making on the field whilst in possession. 

With a strong emphasis on mastering the timing of passes and dribbles, the players have not only elevated their technical abilities but also sharpened their tactical acumen. March has been characterised by intensive training sessions aimed at refining passing accuracy and dribbling control with both feet, ensuring our players can confidently navigate through opposition defences. Moreover, significant attention has been given to fostering improved cohesion within the team, with players mastering the art of effective combination play to create scoring opportunities.  

Observing the strides our players have taken is immensely gratifying. Their enhanced proficiency in passing and dribbling, coupled with their improved understanding of when to execute these techniques, promises to make them more effective players on the field!

We can’t wait to see all our UD players for the upcoming Summer Term kicking-off in a few weeks time.

Throughout February, our Junior Foundation players at UDFC have diligently honed their skills in finishing and combining with teammates to attack. Building upon the foundations laid in January, where they focused on passing and dribbling techniques, our players have delved deeper into the intricacies of decision-making on the field. 

With a keen emphasis on knowing when to pass and when to dribble, they have not only enhanced their technical abilities but also sharpened their tactical acumen. The month of February has been marked by intensive training sessions aimed at refining the art of striking/finishing, ensuring our players can convert opportunities with confidence and precision.

Additionally, emphasis has been placed on fostering better cohesion within the team, with players learning to effectively combine with their teammates to launch meaningful attacks on goal. 

Witnessing the progress our players have made has been immensely satisfying. Their improved understanding of when to execute passes or dribbles, coupled with enhanced technical proficiency in the final third, promises to make them more effective players on the field!!

January 2024
Throughout January our UDFC syllabus has guided our Junior Foundation players through the basic technical and tactical skills when passing and dribbling. The aim this month was for our players to begin to understand the importance of decision-making focusing on when to Pass versus when to Dribble the ball. The techniques learned across each of these skills has been a joy to witness and this will certainly guide our players to be more confident when in possession of the ball as well as increasing their awareness of teammates and spaces around them.
