PFC looks very closely at perfecting technique within various pressure phases.When coaching a technique we look to teach:

- Switching between high and low positions
- Speed Level

Small-sided Games
By playing small-sided games an environment is created where players learn their acquired skills and attempt to execute those skills under game-like pressure. The games also help the players develop game insight and to see a picture develop as they play. At the PFC Academy, the coaches inspire kids to take players on. It’s how PFC believes the game should be played.
PFC looks to develop individual players’ technical ability and game insight in Attack and Defence.
