Group Football Sessions
Our group football coaching is aimed at technically detailed with high intensity regardless of the age. Our main focus is to ensure that the child regardless of age is as comfortable on the ball as he can be. All our football coaching sessions include a movement and fitness section, Technical section plus a 1v1, 2v2 or 3v3 phase. At the end we always ensure time to let the children enjoy a game. This is what they love most and we at Th e Foundation Phase feel it is important to understand.
Movement and Physical football coaching
Children must be taught the early fundamentals of football, our group football coaching includes this. The aim is to ensure that the child works on good lateral movements ( side to side), different speeds (change of gears) when running, planting of the foot to turn and working of the front foot. All these aspects of football coaching are often over looked but we aim to have your child moving correctly for when he grows. We do concentrate more on this in our 121 football coaching sessions.
Technical Football Coaching
All group football sessions must have a technical football coaching aspect, this is to ensure that the child becomes as comfortable as possible on the ball. Many football coaches like the phrase “master the ball” and we at The Foundation Phase are no different. We start out with the basics like to taps and stepovers and lead to more difficult skill with multiples and combos. This is were we add a lot of technical detail and encourage the children to do this at a high tempo.
Play Time Football Coaching
Our 1v1, 2v2 and 3v3 part of the session we call play time. This is where we hope that the toddlers and children put the previous parts of the session into practice. We encourage this with extra points for showing us that they have gained the knowledge that the coaches are trying to teach. We try and group children by there skill set in order to push the children to the levels we feel they can reach. This is a real fun part of the Group football session for the kids and football coaches.
