The Revival Of Street Football

Weekly 3v3 Games Programme

Playing freely with the ball, having fun and scoring goals are the main reason why children fall in love with the beautiful game. As always football evolves and new ideas / tactics come into play; team playing out from the back, playing through the thirds and possession based football are the go to principles of play (at the professional, academy and becoming more prevalent at grassroots level).

Through this, are we starting to lose out on producing footballers who are that independent thinkers?, creative and expressive on the ball? A player who is capable of producing that piece of individual brilliance to completely change a game.

The revival of street football games programme encourages all players to play with that sense of freedom. To be as creative as possible, to try skills and tricks, to take risks on the ball and most importantly forcing players to stay on the ball. By encouraging players to stay on the ball we are further enhancing their technical ability, their decision making and their awareness. This will drastically improve confidence and self belief.
