Hi Tim, I think it really important for players, coaches and parents to have a break during Summer months. Playing other sports, which involve different development opportunities eg: cricket, swimming, tennis can be hugely beneficial. I would suggest that recreational ‘kick around’ footie on the local field/cage, also provides a variety of experience away from coach and parent/adult input, therefore far better than sat at home playing computer games ‍♂️

Thanks Vinny, this makes sense. I presume this would also help build younger players' fundamental movement skills?
