Coaching Football

Anyone on here coach football??

 

i have before?

 

What did you coach?? Age group like

 

i coached an under 14s team, and under 15s, did my kickstart one badge, also did a week coachin for lfcbarry on here for a college project for him think the kids were between 5/6 and 11

 

Cool, what kind of training methods did you use, what way did you try and get them to play? System, tactic etc

 

i worked mainly on fitness first, some short sprints,jogging, strecthes, push ups, sit ups, etc.

then coming to footwork and all jus basic passing, one on ones, shooting , team in a circle and 2 in the middle chasing down, and other stuff like that, i always tried to get them to play ball on the ground, id rather see my team lose and try to play than long balls all day you know?

 

I have a load of drills I can send you, our team have a partnership with Glasgow Celtic, and we we're given the drills and run down of the Celtic Academy training sessions if you're interested.


Also I stuck up a list of apps in the app thread that the 2 of you's were looking for,.

 

thanks mate. do sure send them on to me

 

im exactly the same word for word mate, mine are only from 9-12 though so not so much on fitness and stuff yet, just basic football now

 

Ball to feet at all times mate, works wonders,.

 

Elvis any chance you could send me on those drills you have,I'm managing a youth team and u14's.It always great to get fresh ideas,would really appreciate it.cheers

Definitely pass and move by the way

 

Do a fair bit myself with kids 12 and under. I did a course in LFC academy out in Kirkby couple of years ago over 10 weeks run by LFC Academy coaches and Im qualified Level 2 by FA and FAI. I got stuff for summer camps (mixed ability, playing for participation) and some stuff that they do with younger academy teams, so if you're coaching a kids team in a good league, could be useful.

Everything with a ball, kids need as many touches as they can get, no need for a focus on strength and fitness and that 'til they get older.

PM me your address I'll post you (or anyone who wants it) out some of the stuff I got from the Academy when I get the chance.

 

I'm pretty sure xavi said they do this a lot of barca, think there is an article about it somewhere on here.

It's a great way to get players used to moving the ball quickly and accurately.

 

lads if you's PM me your email address I'll forward it on to you, .

 

Email address or Home Address lads??
