I arrived for my first day of Work Experience at Manchester City Football Schools today. I was showed my new coaching kit and was exitced to get started. We did an overview on how we would train and to what levels. We started at 5:30 with a U9 team training. We started with 1 v 1 matches followed by a skill zone and then moved into a transition game and lots of fun. Then at 6:30 we cleared the pitches and re made them for the later session. At 7:15, I started coaching with u14, we started with rondos and skill zone work, then they did a full game against each other, I cleaned the pitches and the equipment.

Day 2

I arrived for my second day of Work experience at Manchester City Football Schools. I got there at Emirates Palace at 2:45, I got there and started setting up all the pitches to accomadate for our u6 players. After we finished setting up all the pitches we welcomed all the little kids and started the session, we would specialise the drills to their age and after we changed the set up to accomodate their needs. We did their session where we worked on 1v1 drills and learning the word 'transition' then after we did u16 boys where we worked on attacking and defensive scenarios.
