Development Phase Coaching Styles

Rotation of playing position 3. Flexible formations 4. Flexible
match formats 5. Varied opposition and match challenges(playing
with less players) 6. Playing against older teams 7. Playing with
offside lines in the 3 thirds 8. Indoor football/futsal to allow
for varied experience 9. Stadium Experience (playing) 10.A player
based programme rather than one concerned with covering topics
It is a vital part of our relationship with each player we
fully communicate with the parents/parent of each boy and support
them in every way possible in regard to that child's personal
development. Seminars will be provided to share with parents
knowledge on nutrition as well as responding to behaviour and
discipline issues at home and at school. The welfare of the child
must be at the forefront of our relationship with his family in his
football development at all times. Coaches must be considerate and
understanding in all meetings with parents and must attempt to
deliver these in a humble way in all circumstances. The full-time
youth phase coach is responsible for this with the Academy Manager
or Head of Coaching.
