Hi All,

I'm hoping that in time this forum and section can be a valuable place for amateur coaches to come and get/share ideas - ask advice and help other coaches.

As I said in my blog I'll be posting some of my session plans up so maybe this could be the place where other people can do likewise.

Let's kick off by finding out who's coaching and at what level and what qualifications you have.

I have my AFC C License and am coaching the Development Squad at the Sutherland Shire FA details of what that entails can be found here. This season I had 16 U12 boys and next season I will have 32 U10 boys which we are trialling at the moment. I am also looking at taking a team at U11/12 level at my local club.

My aim is to complete my AFC B License next year and I have to say my decision to take my coaching more seriously is the best thing I ever did....as I love every minute of it.

Over to you...

Cheers

Andy

What did you think of the presentation forbze?


Sorry - I only just saw this now...

I thought it was pretty much what it was going to be. It's a program that's been needed for a while - but, It's not exactly ground breaking stuff. I remember doing similar training when I was 8 or 9 when I was growing up in the UK. It's definitely good to have a standardised approach to coaching skills to youngsters tho. Can see it having a positive impact.

Will also be good to put pressure on some of the "money making" set-up's. I coach at an academy in Melb. The kids aged 8-12 train 6 sessions a week, and 12 - 18 train 7 sessions a week. Will be interested to see how we can apply the SAP to our coaching.
