The player development programme is perfect for boys & girls aged 5-12 who currently play for a grassroots club, school team or academy side and want to receive some extra training. The sessions focus on technical skill development and team tactics with games being arranged against local clubs to test out skills. Monday evening sessions are taken by Danny Lamb, Huntington Primary PE coach and York Ladies Coach alongside Liam Holmes, Lord Deramores and Rufforth Primary coach.

If you want to develop your skills, test yourself against players of a similar high ability and play matches against local grassroots clubs this session is perfect for you!!!

An average session is broken down into the following;
