Thirroul Junior Football Club has more than 400 juniors in teams from Under 6s to Under 18s. The club's aim is to foster football by creating an environment for our Thunderbolts players where success is judged - not by winning - but by having fun, improving skills and participating in a club that is active within the community.

Junior Home Training Program

PRINCIPLES OF HOME TRAINING

develop and maintain a routine
be self-motivated and motivate others
include a ball in at least some training
take opportunity to improve core strength and fitness

TIPS AND ADVICE

set targets - ie: 100 juggles. Do as many as you can, then re-start from the number you reached until you achieve goal
The Nike Training Club and Nike Run Club apps are free and offer a variety of fitness sessions
the FIFA 11+ warm-up is excellent for injury prevention
include a ball - work on skills on your own, or with a partner (you can easily maintain social distancing)
mental health - go outside your comfort zone and try something new, not necessarily football related
learn more about the game by watching replays of matches, videos on YouTube or reading about tactics etc
