It is the first course that looks at the child and where they are developmentally (in the four corner of: physical, psycholgical, technical and social aspects) and then packages football through a number of exciting new activities in such a way that it "fits" the child and not the other way round.
This marks a progressive change in coaching philosophy, creating a truly player centred approach to the coaching and development of our young players.
Module 1 is a 32-hour (four day) non-assessed course aimed at coaches who wish to extend their knowledge of coaching the 5-11 year old player.
The course will be a mixture of theory and practical sessions covering:
Managing players motivation and self esteem in positive and appropriate ways
Recognising how players learn
Managing players mistakes and encouraging a "can do" approach from players
Game-related exercises that support players to develop their technique and apply skill in environments where they can make decisions.
