This workshop will dive into the key roles and responsibilities of the Pivot in high performance futsal. This workshop will use the Pride DNA (perhaps link to the How We Play Doc) as the foundation from which to explore the consideration of the pivot when defending at the first line, securing possession for the team, and finalising as an individual or connecting with team mates in different ways to do so.

Delivered in collaboration with our partner Indoor Data, this final webinar will provide coaches with insight into how effective planning, periodisation, and session delivery can enhance both player and team development. Indoor Data will lead the session, demonstrating their platform and how it can support clubs and coaches with all aspects of training preparation, planning, and delivery throughout the season.
