Get Into Football

Skills Team bring out the Child in Coaches

Dorset County Football Association held a further in-service opportunity for coaches on Wednesday 5 March 2008.

Mark McClements, Team Leader of the FA Skills Team based in the County led the session, held within the Sports Centre of Weymouth College.

12 Coaches from Dorset Charter Standard Clubs and County Coaches Association attended the event, aimed at further developing the 5-11 age group.

The Coaches participated practically throughout the evening, being led through sessions including: FUNdamental Warm Up, Ball Familiarity and Turning.

Feedback from those attending was that it was a very worthwhile and informative evening, highlighting Mark’s methods of delivery, differentiation and visual aids.

All of the coaches are now looking to take parts of the session back into their own football environment, and adapt it according to their own set of players.

If you would like any further information on the FA Skills Programme or to get some of the Skills Team to come along to your Club please contact Mark.Mcclements@thefa.com.
