The programme will be conducted over 12 weeks and will be run by our very own qualified coaches

The program will be based on the curriculum suggested by the Technical Director at FNSW & FFA. The programme will focus on ball mastery, passing, receiving, first touch, one v one, juggling, speed, both feet and individual tactical thinking. SMALL SIDED GAMES WILL FEATURE HEAVILY IN PUTTING SKILLS INTO EFFECT

This is an extra curricular training activity and compliments rather than replaces team training sessions There are limited numbers and this opportunity is available on a first come first served basis, there will be an additional cost involved to train with Lilli Pilli Football Advance To register interest, please call either Scott Luxford 0405 008 511 or Chris Tsimiklis 0414 526 142
