Our Learning Model

Positive. Encourage. Do not Criticise.

8 week cycles to deliver the game model.

1 hr PER WEEK of every age group is technical work

All age groups should spend a minimum 30 mins in 4v4s per week. Concentrate on technique.

1 hr per week delivering game model specific work using SSG

We should teach all players to:

1

Win your duels – who are you playing against?

2

Receive far/back leg (less contact/more vision) / open your body up

3

Run with the ball to create spaces

4

Make eye contact with team mates

Under 12+

5

Progression from GK – Create superiority in the 1st line. Take risks in first line. GK will always give you superiority.

6

Pass with an objective / pass to back foot to keep possession

7

Play between lines

8

Receive (behind) off the shoulder to take behind the player.

9

Keep the ball in the centre of all attacks (support outside of the ball left and right)
