Player and Coach Development Policy
Continue individual soccer skills and team work coaching,
concentrate on technical ability and tactics, monitor improvement of and
promote individuals responsibility for improvement. Increase the
stretching routines to include light stamina training, continue warm up
and cool down sessions before and after games as well as training
sessions. Begin to place players in positions of play (for continuity)
but still move them around within the team occasionally. Organize
into 1st and 2nd teams (within league rules), 1st team coach to
have first pick of the age group, players not required for 1st team duty
in that week to be included in the 2nd team squad. Continue the theme
that winning is fun without pressure to succeed, success is expected
more in 1st team than in the 2nd.
Where possible play friendly games where the 1st and 2nd teams can be
mixed to make up teams, this promotes teamwork throughout the age group,
training games would be a good starting point for this. All players in
these age groups to train together. |
