Dorset FA - developing football for everyone
Get Into Football

Small Pitch to Big Pitch!

Making the move from small sided football to 11v11 football was on the agenda at the latest instalment of Dorset County FA’s in-service training programme.

Hosted by Charter Standard Club – Poole Borough Youth, the practical workshop delivered by FA Regional Coach Development Manager Alan Gillett, allowed coaches the opportunity to observe practices to enable them to coach effectively within their Clubs.

Primarily aimed at coaches working with mini soccer Clubs within the Dorset Mini Soccer League (Charter Standard League), attracted 29 coaches from a variety of Clubs throughout the County.

Alan led an informative discussion on the current FA Coach Education system, to bring the workshop to a close. The coaches attending left with a few more thoughts on developing practices within their Clubs.

Dorset County FA would like to thank Poole Borough Youth FC for hosting the event and also providing the players for Alan to work with.
