Wednesday 25th March 2026, 6:30pm - 8.30pm (UK Time) Session Focus: • The role and the worth of a good Wing Defender cannot be underestimated • In order to produce a 'winning' defensive combination the WD is an integral part of the unit along with the GK, GD & the Centre • Words like Dogged, Fearless, Never Say Die come to mind when we talk about Wing Defenders • The role of the WD has changed over the years to incorporate more on the attacking side • Wing Defenders must be prepared to chase all day. To stick to the wing attack and force them into error by continued pressure Places are first come, first served. Attendees are expected to have their camera on for the duration of the session.
