Junior Player Development Programme

The NECA Junior Player Development Programme consists of 10 x 90 minute sessions (60 minute sessions for U7 & U9 children) specifically designed to challenge and improve young players.

The programme is designed and delivered by Level 3 coahces who will offer a diverse range of specific skills that will be player centered to maximiase participant development.
