By the way I have not been dragged kicking and screaming into the world of Facebook and Twitter yet so here on the website is the best way to say hello. I mention my home town of Barrow-in-Furness more than once on this website and for good reason. Read the rest |

Training Tips
If you are a coach one of your top priorities should be running effective practice sessions for your players. It helps to have a consistent structure to your practices your players will absolutely benefit from this approach.
A suggested practice format is as follows:
- Fun warm-up with the ball - lots of turns, touches and reaction games!
- Skill teaching! Spend some part of every practice teaching a specific skill
- Shooting! All kids love to shoot include some shooting at every practice.
- Game! Conditioned, small sided or regular the kids love to play!
Tip: Use neutral players in games to help develop the art of possession
If you as the coach are also a proficient player join in the games - no tackling though! Your players will benefit from your experience as you help them to find space and show them how to pass effectively to feet / space. Give them a 'star point' every time they play a great pass to coach! |
