The innovative FA Youth Award is as much about the HOW of working with young player as the WHAT.
It is the first course that looks at the child and where they are developmentally (in the four corners of: physical, psychological, technical and social aspects) and then packages
football through a number of exciting new activities in such a way that it “fits” the child and not the other way round. This marks a progressive change in coaching philosophy, creating a truly player centred approach to the coaching and development of our young players.
Module 1 is a 32–hour (four–day) non–assessed course aimed at coaches who wish to extend their knowledge of coaching the 5–11 year old player.
The course will be a mixture of theory and practical sessions covering:
• Managing players motivation and self esteem in positive and appropriate ways;
• Recognising how players learn;
• Managing players mistakes and encouraging a ‘can do’ approach from players;
• Game–related exercises that support players to develop their technique and apply skill in environments where they can make decisions.
