The Player Development department continues to put together a practice for coaches to use with their players across the province.

Each week will focus on one of the three LTPD development stages at the Grassroots level, which includes Active Start, FUNdamentals, and Learn to Train.

In this week’s session, the Grassroots department has focused on Fundamentals.  

The session is Star Wars themed. Players become either a Jedi Knight or a Storm Trooper as they work on their physical literacy. They must avoid the enemy while trying to defeat the leader. They must use their imagination and later on in the session they will be shooting the ball to defeat the opposition when the Empire Strikes Back.

Players will also play 2v2 and 4v4 with an emphasis on shooting quickly and scoring goals.
