U12s were shown today what a top level teams looks like.

Spencer from south London brought three teams to the tournament and Marlow and Reading had two teams each. We were placed in against the top teams from each club. The boys will have learnt a lot from playing these teams and in patches were able to compete and string passes together and create some chances. But it’s a tough test going against that calibre of players. Few tips.

1. Best teams keep moving and working for each other. Anticipating whether your team mate will win the ball or lose the ball and where you need to be.
2. ⁠ Decision making needs to happen before you receive the ball.

Anyway Team, we reset and work again next week. Well done to you all for digging in deep.
