ALL ILCHESTER COACHES ARE LEVEL 1 AND 2 TRAINED OFFERING HIGH STANDARDS COACHING AND LOTS OF FUN

Session Delivery

Our club coaching activity will be directed to the developmental age of the participant. Programs will be challenging but achievable, guaranteeing that each child leaves each training session with a raised self esteem and most importantly experienced fun and enjoyment.

Environment

Our club, training sessions will create a safe, open and positive learning environment.

Active Learning

The club will create opportunities for players to become active learners, giving them ownership of their problem solving and decision making processes

Development Model

Introduction

Our coaches share a passion for the game that is transferred through to all the participants.

Players will be allowed to express themselves, play without fear of making mistakes, be encouraged to make their own decisions in sessions and discover the enjoyment of football.

We understand that all children learn in different ways and our coaches are trained in delivering our syllabus to all types of personalities and abilities so that each player can achieve their highest level of performance.

Technical

By improving players technical ability, they will be able to play with more confidence and become more effective.

Through the delivery of specific techniques performed regularly by participating teams, players will learn to dominate 1v1 situations by being able to produce tricks and turns and become more confident with the ball at their feet.

Players will also be taught the fundamental techniques such as dribbling, passing, receiving, finishing, defending, heading and goalkeeping.

Tactical

Enjoy your time on the ball; this will allow you to make good decisions. Stay active off the ball; this will make you an asset to your team.

We will develop the player’s understanding of how to dominate their opponent and also how to combine as a team.

For younger players our 4v4 games create lots of opportunities to practice their tricks and turns under match conditions without fear of making mistakes.

Older players will be able learn how to use their tricks, turns and passing range in the three areas of the field. Aiming to change the direction and pace of play, using width and depth to make play unpredictable and keep the opposition guessing!

All activity is delivered in relation to the development age of the players.

Physical

Take responsibility for looking after your body, what you consume and how you train.Players will learn specifically how to train their bodies for the demands of the game. Focusing on the fundamental movements of agility, balance, strength, speed and stamina.

As players get older they will learn how their game position can dictate their physical training.

Mental

Players of all ages have to deal with winning and losing, playing well and making mistakes. We show our players techniques on how to build confidence throughout the different challenges presented in the game. Team and group, self talk and goal setting are examples of how we help the players remain focussed

Social

Playing sport and being part of a team is a great opportunity for children to develop their social skills.  On all occasions players will be encouraged to conduct themselves as a team/club player and reach the high standards set by the club
