Coach Football

 

Coaches at all levels play a crucial role in ensuring that football is an enjoyable experience for everyone, as well as laying the foundation for the development of better players.

Coach Community Courses are short, affordable and locally available courses for those coaching local amateur teams. 

 

There are different coaching courses depending on the level of play.

SENIOR COACHING CERTIFICATE

The course is fully practical and encourages the coach to develop practices that are based on FUN. The emphasis is on natural development i.e. learning by PLAYING football. 

No coaching but organising FUN football exercises is the key to helping players build a love for the game.

Another highlight of the course is that the coaches are exposed to basic rules of the game as well as tips and hints on building a football culture in a completely practical setting.

In the Skill Acquisition Phase the coach MUST focus on building a solid foundation of Technical Skill.
The course is fully practical and deals with the development of the 4 Functional Game Skills:
First Touch
Striking the Ball
Running with the Ball
1 v 1

These four Core Skills make up 95% of the actions of any outfield player during a game of football which is why it is critical to train these actions repeatedly so that the players have the opportunity to develop their ability to perform them more effectively during a game.

In the Game Training Phase the coach’s aim will be the development of tactical awareness, perception and decision making through a game related approach to training.

The course is conducted over 14 hours, is fully practical and provides the coach with training sessions designed to help the players apply the Functional Game Skills in a team setting using the FFA endorsed ‘1-4-3-3’ formation.

In this Phase the coach prepares the team for a competition environment where winning becomes the main aim. Training focuses on solving football problems, based on match analysis. FOOTBALL CONDITIONING also becomes a key part of the course

The course is conducted over 14 hours and assists the coach by providing model sessions on solving football problems.

The local clubs regularly host coaching courses which can be attended by coaches from any club.
