UD LITTLE DRAGONS PRE SCHOOL PROGRAMME (2-3 YRS) - MONTHLY HIGHLIGHTS

LITTLE DRAGONS (AGES 2-3 YRS) CO-ED

March 2024

Throughout March, our Little Dragons programme remains steadfast in its commitment to nurturing the holistic development of our youngest UD members. With the UD Spring term now at its end, our sessions this term have focused on prioritising inclusivity and enjoyment, while also integrating a range of technical challenges aimed at honing our players' overall skills.  

Our dedicated team of UD Little Dragons coaches has been diligently focused on perfecting fundamental techniques such as ball striking and mastering directional changes with the ball. Building on the groundwork laid in previous months, we are now concentrating on further enhancing our players' proficiency in these areas through a diverse array of engaging activities and challenges.  Additionally, our training sessions emphasise the development of social skills such as cooperation and teamwork. 

During the previous weeks, our Little Dragons players were actively participating in activities designed to foster communication, sharing, and collaboration among peers. We eagerly anticipate witnessing the progress this group will undoubtedly make in the upcoming UD Summer Term!

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