Wolves youngsters show off futsal skills
Wolves allowed the Sky Sports Soccer AM cameras into Compton to show their futsal youngsters in training.
The boys also received tips from first-teamers Matt Doherty, Leigh Griffiths and Anthony Forde.
Soccer AM came to visit the scholars to find out what goes on during a pre-match day, and the feature showed behind-the-scenes footage.
Led by futsal head coach Steve Cullis, the boys are seen working on the 3G pitch before discussing tactics and goals for the games ahead.
