Manchester Central launch Free Tune Up Sessions for 16-21 year olds.

With the Football season all over the country well and truly kicking off, one Manchester Football League club are doing their bit to ensure the wealth of local talent are on top of their game for the upcoming campaign.

Headed by Chairman, UEFA A Licensed coach and former professional footballer Paul McGuire, Manchester Central are delighted to be able to offer close quarters free Tune-Up Sessions for Manchester-based players.

Having previously worked for Football League club Macclesfield Town and North-West Counties Premier Division Champions Macclesfield FC, Paul brings with him a wealth of experience that is tough to beat at the local level.

With these free sessions available from U16-U21 age categories, McGuire is determined to pass on his wealth of knowledge to the next generation. Aimed towards making general improvements to players' games to ensure they are able to perform at peak efficiency.

"I've been involved in local football for a good number of years now, and having seen some of the quality players Manchester has produced in recent years, I just thought it was time they had an opportunity to fine-tune their skills away from the pressures of their regular training routines."

These free sessions, in co-operation with Manchester Central Football Club, will provide a platform for players of a similar ability to work together in a limited number of sessions in order to push each other onto that next level of performance.

With a better coach-player ratio involved in the small-sided training, Paul feels players will benefit greatly from the increased contact time and personal attention to hone their skills and take their game to the next level.

"It can be difficult sometimes for players of a higher quality to properly excel when they're trying to play at a lower standard. We aim to take groups of similar quality and allow them to excel together and show the raw talent that we know is already there."

The sessions will provide a challenging but rewarding programme that builds players both technically and physically, working on perfecting a player's strengths on top of identifying areas of weakness in their games and fine-tuning them out of their game.

The coaching will create realistic and intense game situations where players will learn to affective manage in-game situations on a smaller scale that they are then able to take onto the pitch in their full-sided games.

With tailored sessions working on players' physical development, players can expect to work on building core skills such as Agility, Balance, Co-Ordination and Speed to become the rounded player clubs are looking to sign.

Paul is looking to welcome both players who already have clubs but are looking to improve on a personal level, as well as young players who are looking to showcase their ability in order to find themselves a suitable club.

"There are a lot of players out there who are good enough to play at least to a semi-professional level or even higher but don't have the right guidance. We aim to give those players the confidence-boosting skills, fitness and self-esteem to reach their full potential."
