Simply with our football school needing a club for PL and incorporation to operate and wanting no responsibility for a club team on a weekly basis, I was appointed as TD to a club. They want to build the club up and think they have picked up a successful training ground regime from under the nose of many of the big split state league clubs.


One of the club coaches and committee members has brought his under 14s last year and under 15s this year, to all CFP sessions. He also uses the KNVB based model for his club training sessions. His players must be touching the ball about 2500 times per week when they train twice weekly. He is now being recognised as an excellent coach by his opposition coaches.



There are a number of roles being a TD that are quite different from the Community Football Programme.

Took some clinics in a school today. We are trying to target 11-12 year olds.

I think we only have a few interested. All the kids seem to have other commitments.

I did skills sessions, game related, then 4v4 SSGs, with a round robin system. Some of the kids were disappointed, because they didn't play a big game withe the whole class divided into two teams, about 13v13, 14v14 or 15v15.](*,)

I explained to subsequent groups, that the big game, meant a few players dominate whilst the rest have very little influence, involvement or touches. They seemed happier with the 4v4s after that.

One of the teachers is one of the best players in the state. He played well for Tasmania against Victory. Next week we will have him and three other young adult senior players at our CFP session, but we will be overrun with 7 year olds.#-o
