Training Menu

All sessions are carefully designed by head coach & founder Graham Fisher which consists of all important player habits needed to excel and improve in today's modern game within GAME REALISTIC training activities. Graham blends his 7 years of youth & professional experience in Germany, Ireland, Spain & England, with his 3 National Coaching licenses to bring the players and coaching staff a second to none training environment.

Weekly Session Emails

Each week, as an introduction to the new training topic, an email will be sent out to all parents and players of this program. The videos sent out will be discussing the weekly topic and providing examples from professional game scenarios in order for players to see the techniques they will be executing in training. This learning process is similar to professional academies in Europe and other parts of the world.
