Overview
WHY THIS COURSE?
At the initiation stage, young players build the foundations that shape how they understand the game for the rest of their development. But many youth environments still train through isolated exercises and sessions not adapted to the players' age and learning needs.
Do not just train young players to execute actions — teach them to understand the game. Across 13 live sessions (20 hours) this course brings the Ekkono methodology into the initiation stage, from U6 to U13.
