BLYTH BOMBERS FC
Junior football teams
Training
UNDER 13's
Full team tekkers...
Now we are playing full team football, with 11 players on the pitch for each team. Gary can channel his inner 'Ancelotti' (he's an Everton fan, but we forgive him!) and try out modern, continental formations. Sometimes though, a flat back four is what's needed...
It gets busy on Wednesday evenings as the 13's play on the big pitch. Most adults would struggle to play a full 90 minutes on a pitch this size so Gary makes sure fitness and strength exercises are completed every week.
Positional discipline, communication and teamwork are the key to matches at this level. The teams that get the ball down and pass with purpose generally do well.
It's also about using the space and working hard off the ball, closing down angles and stopping that decisive through ball.
Again, as with other teams, the games are played either Saturday or Sunday depending on venue.
If you would like to get your child involved in this age group then we'd love to see them at training.
