Although we didn’t have a fixture this week, our Year 5 and 6 football team made excellent progress during training. The focus was on tackling technique and defensive positioning, helping players understand how to work together to protect their goal and regain possession.

Pupils practised one-on-one challenges, intercepting passes, and marking opponents, with plenty of opportunities to reflect on what makes a strong defender. Their communication and teamwork were fantastic, and it’s clear they’re growing in confidence and skill.

We’re now preparing for our next league match against Llanfair—details will be shared shortly. The team is excited and ready to put their training into action!
