PROGRESSIONS AND CHALLENGES WHEN COACHING SOCCER – PART ONE
May 15th
Last summer I was invited to a football and soccer coaching seminar in Portugal to present a lecture on the need for football coaches to ensure there are challenges and progressions in their soccer training sessions.
To improve the enjoyment and development process for players, it is important that they have the opportunity, initially, to achieve success in the football training session. That they have lots of realistic, match like scenarios to practice the skill the soccer coaching session is promoting. This will increase and develop the players’ confidence and self belief.
But, after a suitable period of time, the players will need be tested and challenged, so that their enjoyment, learning and decision making process and technical execution under increased pressure are challenged.
This is where challenges and progressions become so important in training players. The challenges need to be suitable for the age and ability of the players and need to be judged by the soccer coach as suitable for the needs of the coaching session. By developing challenges and progressions in the session, a coach will be making the session more enjoyable and challenging for the players and assist in their learning and development.

Football Coaching FA Level 2 in Kent Day 3

Today we showed the football coaches a series of small sided football games. The basic organisation is to play 4 v 4 outfield players, with goalkeepers.
To really help the soccer coaches understand how to coach attacking topics within a small sided game, the coaches need to plan the size of the pitch related to the topic they are coaching.
For example, for a topic like Short Range Passing, it would help to coach the topic if the pitch was smaller than normal. This would also depend on the age and ability of the players being coached, but a pitch size of say 35 x 25 yards, would require the players to pass the ball consistently over a short range. The second thing is to try and manage both teams to play some kind of formation, say 2 – 1 – 1 and for the players to try and be disciplined to stay in that formation and play in their positions. Of course defenders can go forward, as can midfield players, but if they interchange positions, for two of the players to recognise the need to play as defenders and at least one of the them to play up front.

One of the fundamental techniques players need is to be able to control the ball effectively. As football coaches we should be constantly encouraging and helping our players to improve and develop their ball control techniques and skills.
Coaching ball control, starts at the beginning, with helping players understand the basic techniques of ball control. Players can then progress and start making technical decisions on not only how they control the ball, but where they control the ball and if they control it for themselves or for other players
Using the coaches’ chalkboard design facility on www.grassrootscoaching.com we have put together a progressive football training session soccer coaches can take to training to help their players improve the basic techniques of ball control.
