MUSIC
The dance music encourages more creativity, more enjoyment and more freedom. In this way it aims to re-create the atmosphere and environment of street football. It provides the players (and coaches!) with the motivation and inspiration to move, sway and deceive opponents.

EXPERIMENT
Best of all the music means the children can get on with enjoying and experimenting without the interference of adults screaming instructions at them! This helps develop independent players who are not reliant on coaches to tell them what to do.
The music is very effectively used to puntuate teaching times. When the music is stopped, there is a sudden silence which captures the attention of the players. In this silence, the coach can work effectively - demonstrating, asking questions and suggesting alternatives. Once the coach is finished, the music is back on, and the players know it is their time again to experiment with what the coach has shown them.
