Season Outlook Managers edit this slide to include Season Length/Training time/day/location Weekend game schedule This might be a good time to collect information on when players are available. Many teams sign up for a tournament, only to later find out that players cannot attend due to a conflict. The team then ends up having to withdrawal from the competition late which damages the relationship we have with other clubs. Small-sided game schedule
