Directions - Click here   General Info Each session will last about 60 minutes. In the event of bad weather, training will be cancelled ie. Heavy rain or frosty conditions. The web site will be updated as soon as possible but please contact your respective Coach if you are unsure. The objectives of the coaches in this age group are to encourage enjoyment and development of core skills (ball control, passing, shooting and movement).  Coaching will be carried within the respective team squads. The Coaches at Pinewood have undertaken FA training, and all training programmes will support FA guidelines. The usual format will be split into groups, warm-up, routines of the day (skill based games, shooting etc), followed by some small matches. Some basic points:  (1) Your child should be equipped & dressed appropriately.  Specifically, Shin Pads are mandatory.  The conditions can be cold and wet, so please ensure warm clothing (& gloves etc) when appropriate.  Please bring a drink, we will encourage regular breaks. (2) Astroturf can hurt if you fall on it with bare skin so please encourage your children to wear long sleeves and long track-suit trousers. (3) We try to ensure all children enjoy the sessions, but please help us by encouraging good, attentive behavior from your child. (4) We encourage parents to get involved and help out.  Please volunteer your services, and let the coaches know if you can help!
