Developing the game is a chance for players to continue to learn the basic rules alongside some more complex ones. Coaches will use the games to give examples of some basic tactics and challenges that will help the players think about the game from a different perspective. Examples include how to use the wide areas of the field, how to attack from a goal kick, how to defend from a goal kick, some ideas about how to take set pieces and more. A great chance for match practice in an organised setting with coaches and correct refereeing.
