They tell me they have spent Hours learning to pass and control the ball with the outside of the foot. When I did one of my coaches course i suggested passing and controlling with the outside of the foot as a legitimate way of using the ball I was dressed down by the TD and told it was only for futsal and never to be seen on a football field. Ill let you guess who the TD was.
Edited by krones3: 17/7/2013 11:07:19 AM I think there is a discrepancy about the use of futsal as a development tool within the Australian system. I've been told the SA TD, is a Brazilian. Of course, he is passionate about futsal. However, some of the FFA coaching staff over the country, particularly if they derive from one nameless country, don't see futsal as a useful learning tool at all. If you had been down here, with our Skills Acquisition Progam trainer, in his role as coach educator, I'm pretty sure he would've endorsed what you've suggested, Krones. Controlling the ball with the outside of the foot is an integral useful tool. It is also part of the shoulder feint/body swerve, which is useful as a 1v1 technique, to turn using a fake, and, to receive the ball, sometimes faking at the same time. The TD who told you that is incompetent and should be sacked, if, he said what he said to you as you've written it above.](*,) He has been sacked, but how much damage has he done to the game? Good to hear he has been sacked.=d> If poor operators hold key jobs, the whole organisation is blamed. When FFA number 3, Rob Sherman, took part of the C Licence in Tasmania, he told all the participants that we were very lucky to have such a fantastic coach education team in this state. There are four of them, or three, now Kurt Reynolds has vacated the TD position. Unless Rob was a professional actor, he meant what he said. Kurt, Mike Edwards and Anthony Alexander are excellent coach educators. Dean May does brilliant demonstration sessions. After KNVB's Derkson and Schans, I was disappointed with what I had until exposure to these guys. A trained PE teacher, Edwards will soon be one of the best in Australia. Sherman is supposedly the best, but Edwards is already nearly as good. The selling point of the centralised course is better quality instructors, but we pay a third of the price to be trained by Edwards here in Regional courses. Already, the V League has improved immeasurably from the old SPL and NPL, simply with ME being the principal coach educator, training most of the coaches in FFA Advanced Education.
