Tuesday 26 February 2008 saw Shaftesbury Football Club host an event looking at different systems and formations of play. The evening was led by Alan Gillett, FA Regional Coach Development Manager.
26 Coaches and managers from a range of Charter Standard Clubs and DCFA Coaches Association attended the evening, which commenced with a talk and tactics introduction from Alan, followed by a number of practices evoking styles of play.
The coaches commented that one of the key features was how the ownership of the session was given to the players.
An enjoyable and beneficial night was had by all concerned, with some comments including:
‘Another top quality evening held by DCFA and Alan; very interesting and informative.’
‘Very good, made more enjoyable by playing.’
‘Would like to watch more professional coaches working.’
‘Was good to attend (as a teacher) with our link football Club coaches.’
