What you actually do

Two days.
Eight sessions.

Each clinic runs in one sport. Mornings are skills, afternoons are the game, and the drills are your code.

01Getting the touch back
08:00
Warm-up and baseline testing
Where your speed, fitness and touch actually sit after the break.
09:30
Core skills under pressure
Handling, passing and first touch, on the move and against a defender.
11:30
One on one
Beating your opponent, and what you do in the two seconds after.
14:00
Small-sided games
Everything from the morning, at match speed.
02Playing the game again
08:00
Structure and transition
Defending as a unit, then attacking the turnover.

Your code's set plays — attacking them and shutting them down.

Scoring
Finishing in and around the area, under fatigue.

Full games, then ten minutes with a coach on what to work on.

Before you book

Questions

What do I bring?

Your own kit for your sport, boots or turf shoes, a mouthguard where your code needs one, and two water bottles. We supply balls, bibs, cones and fruit. January is hot, so bring a cap and sunscreen.

What ages is this for?

Under-14 up to open club level. You are grouped by age and ability on the first morning after the baseline testing, so you train with players at your level rather than in one big group.

Which sport runs in my town?

Each clinic runs in one sport. The sport for each town is confirmed when bookings open, and it is shown on your booking before you pay. If a town fills in one code we look at adding a second date.

What happens if it rains?

We play. Sessions run in light rain and we move to indoor work if the ground is unsafe. If there is lightning we hold and add the time to the afternoon. A clinic is only moved if the venue closes, and then you get the new date or a full refund.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, in full up to seven days before your clinic. Inside seven days we move your spot to another town on the tour if there is space, since shirts and coaching are already committed.
