Hello,
I am very new to these forums and I am not sure if this is the right place to post this type of request. We are basically hoping that this post could assist us in looking for a higher level coach ( say an ex state / prem leage player etc )that could teach a bunch of kids some quality skills for the game ? Obviously we as parents would be keen to negotiate the terms for the right person with the intention of starting ASAP and continuing throughout nest year in 2008.
If you are interested or know of someone that would be please contact me via email me and I could give you/them more details.
We are in the inner-west sydney area.
Regards

Hi Guys,
Sorry I have been away for a bit but just to give you an update, we are presently negotiating with a few people that seem to be fitting the criteria so its all looking hopefull at the moment. In response to Geust and Charon in wanting to know what skills , basically I am no expert in the game other than your usual social club soccer but I do see a problem with the differences in our sport technically compared to overseas nations. I stumbled upon another forum at sbs which was addressinfg a similar topic and I found one of the posts by "decentric" seems to be on the right wavelength. You can read the post here : http://www21.sbs.com.au/wgforum/viewtopic.php?t=102156
One of the quotes :
"I also teach specific and incremental dribbling and turning techniques. The standard inside of the foot, followed by the outside of the foot body swerve, the Matthews cut, the Cruyff cut and a simplified version of the Zidane 360 are the first techniques I teach. I use Brazilian Soccer Schools DVDs to impart more advanced dribbling and turning with the ball techniques of varying complexity. The Brazilians use over the ball sideways technique a lot, which is rarely used in context in England or Australia, or even on the continent. One of the state female players has an array of effective skills she has learnt from a Manchester United DVD which she is going to lend me.
All these techniques need to be learnt slowly, then sped up still in isolation from other players. When players can do them at a quicker rate, the next step is to do them with the head up. Finally being able to practise them with an opponent to gauge effective distancing is recommended. When this is done repetitively and successfully, a technique has been transferred to a skill, according to FFA vernacular."
You can read more at the above link but the above quote highlites some of the skills we are searching for and assume there would be other skills no doubt . Perhaps we need to grab one of those brazillian dvd's and go from there.
