THE 18 YARD CLUB PHILOSOPHY

The 18 yard boxes represent only 15% of the field, but it is almost exclusively in this 15% where goals are either scored or chances are squandered, where a footballer either thrives or is thwarted and where a match is won or lost.


The game of football is decided inside the 18 Yard Box so 18 Yard Club focuses entirely on this 15% of the field, teaching skills and habits to win games.
