It is in a very central location in Hobart too. The need for a bus to transport the refugees will be less of an issue. That is a massive win! Well bloody done mate :D

In order to reduce the number of goals scored by your team and to improve the style of play.
Try this.
You put your poorest striker in the #9 position and instruct the mids that the #9 must score before they can.
Change the #9 every quarter and give the same instructions.
You will be amazed.

Excellent, Krones. I will be suggesting this to other coaches. A mate of mine had a very dominant team in the under 9s. He put his two worst players as the central strikers. They failed to score from about 150 times the ball was put in the penalty box!!! Edited by Decentric: 22/6/2011 12:06:06 AM

Things for FFE couldn't be going better.
We have a centrally located ground. It should be free of charge.
The council's public liability should cover us.
Many of the refugees can cycle to the centrally located ground.
We have enough equipment, apart from balls.
We have a few top level elite youth and state league senior players as mentors/role models for the junior players. They will be joining in sessions as participants.
Junior clubs L and H (who we've worked with a bit ) will have players attending.
Country club W has a community bus to bus players in for FFE sessions on Mondays.
Country club N wants to send players.
One SPL senior coach wants to help. Other coaches are also showing interest.
We will use various Tasmanian coaches to instruct aspects of football at FFE. I observed a state coach do this effectively. I will even approach the Anonymous coach who criticised my KNVB certificate on Walter Pless' blog. I think he coaches overlapping well.
Sometimes it is good to incorporate various coaches for one off sessions, so they feel part of the programme, hence being supportive of it to others.
Our main problem is finding 25-30 balls ATM.

Country club W coach desperately wants help for his under 14s. His team just lost 17-0. Players want to leave.
State FFA TD and his assistant recently took the club for a session. I asked state TD what they did with club W. He is also working on acquiring balls for FFE.
As well as club attending FFE sessions in central Hobart, I intend to watch them play this weekend.
Then run past the coach a plan.
It will be orientated around defensive structure. Playing a 4-2-3-1 in defence and a 4-3-3 in attack. If they are really bad technically we might have to look at a Christmas tree formation of 4-3-2-1.
Players in each line will coach the line in front of them to maintain shape at all times. The pitch will be made as small as possible when the other team has possession.
There will be lots of 2v 7, 3 v 7, 4v7 increasing to 7v7, to acquire a good defensve structure in defence and midfield on the training track.
We will work up to 11 v not many. This will enable the team to keep shape in low pressure situations. We will work on full pressing and half pressing and ideal compact formational shape in defence. Trying to co-ordinate the pressing and delaying at the last instance will be the objective. I also intend to do some kinaesthetic, micro formational precursory work to demonstrate what 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3 looks like.
The aim is to make it much harder for other teams when they have possession of the ball as the first objective. Technique acquisition and combination play will take much longer to develop.
I'll sit down with the coach and work out whether the team will be prepared to do this to improve performance. It is not intrinsically enjoyable. The enjoyment should be extrinsic on match days.

It is a free football school. We derive no income. The coaching is done for intrinsic satisfaction and for altruistic purposes. Your interest in football is only extrinsic or pecuniary. It is why you see bad intent in all actions of others. Edited by Decentric: 21/6/2011 11:55:39 PM

Other players used to score for that dominant team, even with two weak forwards. With your proposal, one could almost have stopped my mate's dominant team from scoring altogether. :)

We are still having trouble with acquiring 25 balls . Everything else is falling into place.
We have tried FFA state branch.
Centacare
Rebel Sports
Soccer Cellar (shop)
Politicians
Dept of Sport and Recreation
We are awaiting responses from another sports shop, some politicians, councillors, Lions and Rotary clubs.
One club may have 12 old balls. This looks promising.

I can get size 5 footballs at $5 (ex Fury) top quality but size 4 are too expensive and the club does not have any to spare. You would think with a $250 reg fee they could get a ball for each kid.

Brilliant news.:d
A local specialist association football shop is going to provide balls.
The split state league club's vice-president and senior coach, who overlooked FFE earlier this year, will also provide 20 used balls. Now we have plenty.
We only need a council worker to return from holiday next week, approve FFE using the ground fee of charge, and state we have public liability.
All the teething problems are resolving. We even have a staff of four auxiliary coaches, in some capacity of other, as well as coach C and me.

An interesting scenario is occurring here.
Centacare is running a football gala day for migrants this Saturday.
They contacted state Football Federation Australia branch early last week regarding assistance.
The state TD took the call. We think he is doing a very good job.
The state TD passed it on to his second in charge, as this is his area of the state. The state TD lives in north of state and is only in the south for Wednesday and Thursday.
No contact has been made with Centacare by state FFA coach number 2 in over a week. He is stuck in Adelaide because of the Chilean volcano. Number 2 FFA coach has not returned contact for at least 4 organisations he has been referred to, including FFE.
Centacare migrant co-ordinator has contacted me as as a FFE organiser to seek advice. I gave him state TD's mobile, and FFA landline number (he already knew the latter) and what to do to contact specific FFA officials in sequence if he couldn't contact state TD. We intended to turn up to referee/assist on a casual basis to the gala day on Saturday.
Concept for Centacare is to run a skills session, then SSGs. State FFA was supposed to provide the football expertise and organisational framework for teh gala day.
The state FFA CEO said they couldn't provide public liability insurance for FFE , because he thought state FFA provided everything FFE does to consitiuents and we are only replicating what they do.
State FFA TD knows they have finite resources. We think he is willing to find his way around national FFA edicts for the greater good of the game. He is fast becoming a mate and sees synergy in FFE and FFA objectives.
State FFA TD is now desperately trying to organise FFA paid employees to assist Centacare gala day at the last minute. If state FFA fails to organise football expertise, FFE can take gala day participants for skill sessions. We can also borrow balls, provide cones and referee and organise SSGs with teenage footballers assisting. We can also organise SSGs. I also think state FFA TD may have been let down by others in his organisation. FFE have a lot to gain by a continued constructive relationship with the state TD.
State FFA will cop enormous criticism from stakeholders in the local footbal community and clubs if they know about paid and full-time officials being unable to assist migrants at a gala day. Migrants are part of FFA's charter.
Should FFE (totally voluntary and very small group) step in and provide assistance to Centacare taking over what FFA should do?
State FFA is an organisation that supposedly supports football which has massive salaried employees. Should FFE bail them out for the greater good of the game and assimilation of refugees?
Should FFE and supporters turn up just as a casual volunteers, and let state FFA suffer the consequences?
What would you do?

I mooted this to a handful of coaches at a game last night. It was considered an excellent idea, Krones. A number will put it into operation immediately. Two other ideas to restrict scoring for one's own dominant team: One is to restrict all players to two touches, except the designated striker. Another is to manufacture a goal for the other team. This is achieved by passing back to the keeper. The keeper deliberately picks the ball up in the penalty area conceding a free kick close to goal. Keep repeating it until they score. A mate was telling me other teams' parents have been really appreciative and the players didn't realise they were being gifted a goal. Edited by Decentric: 23/6/2011 02:47:26 PM

Something is good about this Krones. Those balls must have been touched a lot to wear out quickly!!! Some of the footballs is this state last a very long time, because they are barely touched on the training ground!!!

We were always going to ensure the success of the Centacare gala day. We were there as back up in case Tassie FFA failed to send someone.
FFA ended up sending a coach to take the gala day. She was not even a paid employee of state FFA. I think it was atrocious. The state FFA Technical Director is doing an excellent a job. Yet out of about 10 full time paid officials in the the south of the state, Tassie FFA couldn't send any paid employee. In my opinion the CEO should have been there. Maybe he didn't know about the event?
The young coach seconded by FFA for the gala event, only 21 years of age, did a good job. She only knew about the gala day last night!!!!:roll:
Football For Everyone acted in a support role. My FFE coaching partner and I, were determined not to take over and undermine the young coach.
It was great to see adults and kids, ranging from 10 -50 years of age, from Bhutan, China, Rwanda, Sudan, Ethiopia, Nepal, as well as some Aussies, including some mature women who had hardly played football, playing SSGs. I had no idea of the uniting power of football until I observed this event.
Football For Everyone has made many invaluable contacts. A plethora of paid and voluntary Centacare workers liaise with migrant families. Many have no interest in football, but know how passionate migrants are about the game.
A pensioner/retiree turned up with hundreds of pairs of boots for the refugees who had none. She purchased them at $2-$5 per pair on a pension. I am keen to see her reimbursed. I would have done it a few months ago, but I am now a retiree myself. Although not a pauper, I can't fork out like I could a few months ago.
What I do have is time to liaise and organise. Moreover, I have access to football stakeholders with a lot of money. I will try to arrange reimbursement for the pensioner from one of our opulent members in the Tasmanian football milieu.
Some of the refugees have so many difficulties with day to day life in assimilation. Parents struggle to speak English. English has a different alphabet from many languages the refugees speak at home. Children, as young as 12, act as interpreters for the likes of me to communicate with their parents. Kids get bullied by bigots/bogans. The more positive contact they have with genuine altruists, the more resilient they will be when the bigots/racists harass them.
Many migrants have no transport, boots, pads. They can't afford local registration fees for football clubs. They can't drive cars and they have no driver's licence. It is difficult to explain where our training ground is with language difficulties. I took some in a car to show them where the training ground is.
One of the refugees, from Bhutan, told me it was one of the best days in his life because he met me, he can now play at FFE one night a week, and the pensioner gave him boots (that fitted) and a football. One feels very humbled.
One person on this forum was part of the inspiration for FFE. He did doing some great altruisic work in South Africa at the World Cup. He organised boots for hundreds of South African kids. He knows who he is, but wishes to remain anonymous.
I think Football For Everyone has provided continuity after the Centacare gala day event.
There are many people, often professionals, or retired professionals, with good organisational skills, who have no interest/expertise in football, but realise the significance of football for assimilating refugees.
There are many people involved in football who have little interest/awareness of migrants' passion for the game, unless the migrants are excellent players they can recruit to clubs/rep teams to help them beat other teams.
It seems there are very few who fit both categories of having football knowledge, and, awareness of refugees and the potential of football in assimilation.Edited by Decentric: 26/6/2011 12:38:16 AMEdited by Decentric: 26/6/2011 12:52:07 AMEdited by Decentric: 26/6/2011 12:55:36 AM

The other thing I did today was attend a match to appraise a struggling country club - W. They are bottom of the ladder in an under 14 division.
I should be doing structural work with them soon. I had a surgical procedure some weeks ago. I am impeded, being unable to demonstrate technical things with the ball. I don't want to do structural work with club W in isolation. The structural work doesn't impede the convalescing process, but it is not that interesting intrinsically. It is only when they start to make it much more difficult for their opponents when the other teams have possession in matches that they will reap the benefits.
What we will do is transport, through their community bus, any interested players into the city for our weekly council provided ground sessions. Later in the week we will visit the club at their home ground for about three successive weeks. Again the coach and players are very appreciative of the assistance. The coach thinks he will have at least a half a dozen willing to make the 40 minute trip into the city on a weekly basis to Football For Everyone's home ground.
Also, what we intend to do with club W is quite different from what the Tassie FFA Technical Director and his number 2 did with them in a recent one off coaching session. The W coach said he did a lot of the stuff the Tassie FFA TD and his number 2 did. He recently completed his youth licence under their tutelage.
His team is looking forward to learning explicit techniques, applying them in game context, then playing 4v4 SSGs and having senior split state league role models to train with them. It was interesting that when the Tassie FFA staff worked with them they did 4v4 SSGs, they didn't advocate a 1-2-1 diamond shape like the KNVB instructors did for 4v4s.
In the last few years I've had a lot more to do with rep/academy/state team players. The players and coaches from country clubs, suburban clubs and the refugees are so appreciative of any assistance.
It seems the more elite players are used to a lot more attention. The amount of attention appears to make them less appreciative. They don't appear to realise they are some of the few who receive a certain quality in training.

Is there still a need for state to have their own bodies?
Or is it just a gravy train.

A pensioner/retiree turned up with hundreds of pairs of boots for the refugees who had none. She purchased them at $2-$5 per pair on a pension. I am keen to see her reimbursed. I would have done it a few months ago, but I am now a retiree myself. Although not a pauper, I can't fork out like I could a few months ago.
What I do have is time to liaise and organise. Moreover, I have access to football stakeholders with a lot of money. I will try to arrange reimbursement for the pensioner from one of our opulent members in the Tasmanian football milieu.
So let me get this right. You couldnt get 150 odd dollars together from either yourself or your contacts for balls but you are going to try get this pensioner reimbursed hundreds of dollars through your contacts? GTFO.

What? :roll: Great Tasmanian Football Orator Thought the same thing, rabid. One mo' lack of balls a showstopper, now he's seemingly got access to millions. This thread is like watching Days of Our lives.

This thread is like watching Days of Our lives. Take your trolling elsewhere. It seems quite a number on 442 have your measure now, JF and Rabid. It is much easier to approach people about donating to others than for one's own, or in this case, FFE's purposes. One of the affluent stakeholders has just donated balls.
