Become Better Players

ORGANISATION

This is a football coaching session to improve players ability to pass, receive, overlap and then finish with a shot on goal

Players love playing football. Take any group of players, the first thing they will do is make two goals, select sides and have a game. Football is fun, the concept of using simplified small sided games as an integral aspect of training is to provide players with an opportunity to do what they enjoy doing the most, playing a game.

A simple passing and receiving practice to improve players concentration, receiving skills, movement and short range passing techniques

That’s it then. England’s World Cup is over. The inquests and rumours have started. There is no doubt that England’s overall performance during the World Cup was very, very poor.

Being able to master basic football techniques is the foundation for improving players.

Phase two - If one team has the ball and are attacking, then the other team will need to defend and to try and stop the opposition scoring.

When coaching football I am a big fan of simplifying the game as much as possible. Essentially football matches have six phases of play. If football coaches can recognise these phases and develop football coaching sessions that encourage players to understand their technical requirements and their roles, both as individuals and as a team, then the players, will be able to perform more effectively in games. Over the next few days we will be posting the six phases on the blog.
