Given it takes to long in a short time to delineate/respond to training session for senior state league clubs in one thread, I'll add a new thread each time I view one.

This was with club NE tonight.

The C head coach S is a good mate of FFE co-coach C.


Club C


1. Warm up done with 7v7 SSG in about a 30mx 30m grid. No specific instructions given to players apart from one touch where possible.

2. 7v7 SSG on half a full size pitch. 4 senior players away with the flu. No specific positional play instructions. Coach S wanted to play on this bigger pitch for more accurate passing over distance.

3. Crossing drill. Players ran down right wing, and crossing into two forwards. The two forwards were supposed to cross over. One going to near post and one to far post. Coach had to keep reminding players. Coaching point was timing of runs.

Duration: 1 hour 45 min

Touches: Player chosen touched the ball 130 times. Nearly all of them were made in a match scenario under some sort of defensive pressure.

I have to agree about players dropping out. The level of quitting increases with age, and that includes most sports and most countries, but particularly those with wealth and choice. Girls, grog and giggles.


I'm in that position myself. I'm asst coaching the U16s, and have taken a number of sessions myself. If the coach stays around next year, i don't think I'll bother again, as there are a couple of boys who've had a whole season to get their attitude right, but have been nothing but disruptive. Not bad players, but IMO they have a negative effeect on the others, as everyone is not getting as much value out of the sessions as they could be.

If OTOH the coach were to not come back next season, and I put my hand up (which would be the natural thing to do, as i've been involved with these boys for a few years), the first thing I'll do is get rid of these two. Being a firm believer in a "no dckhead" policy, I think the harm these 2 do to the rest of the team just isn't worth what they can bring to the pitch on game day.
