⚽ We’re Back from Half-Term — Let’s Sharpen Those Skills!
We’re excited to be back after the half-term break and can’t wait to see our players out on the pitch again! The new half term is the perfect time to refocus, rebuild rhythm, and take football skills to the next level — starting with our Technical Training sessions.
What Is Technical Training?
Our Technical Training sessions are designed for players in Years 2–6 and focus on developing their skills in a fun and supportive indoor environment. Held at the Warlingham School Sports Centre, these classes help children of all abilities sharpen their technique, boost confidence and enjoy every session.
In every session, players work on:
Close control and ball mastery
Passing and receiving under pressure
Quick turns, transitions, and one-on-one play
Smart movement and spatial awareness
Why This Training Style Works
Small-group, high-intensity training gives players far more touches on the ball than in a traditional match. The quicker tempo and smaller playing area help players develop faster reactions, sharper decision-making, and better control under pressure.
This format has been proven worldwide to produce technically outstanding players. In fact, many of the world’s best footballers — Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Ronaldinho, and Andrés Iniesta — grew up training in similar fast-paced, skill-focused environments.
They credit this kind of early technical work for helping them:
Build exceptional close control
Stay calm in tight spaces
Develop lightning-fast decision-making
Express creativity and confidence with the ball
That same approach is at the heart of our Technical Training — helping SS United players become smarter, more skilful, and more confident every week.
The SS United Difference
At SS United, we’re committed to creating a positive and inclusive space where every child can learn, grow, and love the game.
Our coaching team focuses on player development and enjoyment, ensuring each session is active, challenging, and full of encouragement.
We believe in progress, not pressure — giving players the freedom to make mistakes, learn from them, and leave every session with a smile.
Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Join
