Coach the Coach a huge success

Melbourne Heart Youth League coach and Socceroo legend John Aloisi headlined Football Federation SA’s Coach the Coach evening held at the Westpac Centre on Monday night, July 25.

More than 70 people attended the free information session with the event exploring the transition from player to coach.

Aloisi provided an hour-long presentation including a practical session with the help of 10 young volunteers from MetroStars and spoke about his philosophy on football.

Current Campbelltown City player-coach Jason Trimboli was also a guest speaker and discussed his own transition from player to coach.

Former FIFA referee and current FFSA Referee Head Coach Craig Zetter completed the presentations talking about his transition from player to match official.

FFSA Game Development Manager John Mundy was delighted with the event and thanked everyone involved.

"The FFSA were privileged to host this event and would like to thank John, Jason and Craig for their excellent presentations," he said.

"We'd also like to thank Melbourne Heart and Westpac for their support and we will look to continue running Coach’s nights such as this event, as the feedback has been very positive”.

Mundy praised all three presenters who were able to offer insight into their various transitions.

"Aloisi is showing all the qualities of going on to become one of Australia’s top coaches and could eventually be the National Coach," he said.

"There is also a lot to admire in Trimboli, in his humble but passionate approach, this rookie coach who lives and breathes the game. He has a great future ahead of him.”

“Both John and Jason emphasised the need to be open minded and take on board information from different sources around the world and never hesitate to ask for help if needed."

Trimboli's transition has not been so smooth with Campbelltown battling relegation in the Devine Super League this season.

"I think I was able to offer an insight into the mental stresses of coaching and it was a good complement to John's presentation as well," he said.

"I think for ex-players like a former team-mate of mine Robbie Saraceno from White City, it was a good event and highly beneficial."

"I'm sure for those guys looking to take the next step they would have definitely got something out of it."

Former Adelaide United striker Cristiano acknowledged the evening was important for him as he begins his coaching career.

Cristiano is enjoying a stint playing with White City in the Devine Premier League while also coaching juniors at the club.

"I think it was very good for me because I am beginning coaching," he said.

"Some of the exercises John showed us were excellent and I think could help improve football in Australia. I remember these exercises from when I was in Holland as a 15 year-old and I think coaches really learnt a lot from the presentation."

Noarlunga United coach Brenton Hiern also applauded the event.

"We need to do more of these sessions," he said.

"It's definitely a positive and the presentations were great. John was really professional and informative and Jason was very honest and I think the younger coaches needed to hear that about his transition."

"Craig's talk was also important and I think the more the referees are out there the more respect they'll get and the more beneficial it will be for everyone."

"The facilities were very good and the whole thing was very positive."

Great resource with lots of info; follow the links and click on the sections to access desired info.

DEVELOPING TALENT PROGRAMME -

Desire to play - AGE: Male 6-9 / FEMALE 6-8

• * Provide fun and enjoyable activity
  * Provide well organised and planned practices and games
  * Provide stimulating activities that promote fundamental skills and development
  * Communicate appropriately with children

PHILOSOPHY: DESIRE TO PLAY

• * The major objective of this stage is to develop physical literacy and basic skills within children, through football participation.
  * Without speed, agility, balance and co-ordination, as well as the ability to run, jump, throw, kick, catch and control the body (sensory awareness), children will not only be incomplete as football players, but will also not have the confidence or competence to take part in many sporting activities.
  * The skills will be delivered through programmes centred around games- based and FUN (Foundation, Understanding, Nurturing) activities, with 100% involvement at all times.
  * Football-4's festivals and seven-a-side games that allow the opportunity to express enjoyment and develop skills through games.

Learn to play - AGE: Male 9-12 / FEMALE 8-11

• * Provide opportunities in practice for technique development
  * Provide well organised and enjoyable practices and games
  * Motivate and stimulate confidence in children to develop skills and game sense
  * Challenge by setting basic goals, valuing effort and persistence and reinforcing improvement by providing objective and constructive feedback
  * Help the player develop both self-esteem and the ability to realistically evaluate their performance

PHILOSOPHY: LEARNING TO PLAY

• * These ages are the skill hungry years. Motivationally, children are geared to learn skills at this time, therefore, this is an ideal opportunity for focusing on building the skills of the game onto the movement skills of the children.
  * Competition opportunities should reflecting developmental principles (e.g equal playing time for all) through small-sided games (Developmental 4's, Soccer 7's):
  * Key physical qualities to develop in every training session are speed and agility.
  * Coaches should focus on developing confidence, through fostering and reinforcing success in achieving basic goals for each player.
  * Parents and players need to be educated on the lifestyle factors (nutrution, hydration, recovery, support) that underpin player development.
  * The basis of commitment to future training is formed at this stage. Coaches should encourage 'homework' and independent practice, as well as participation in a wide range of sports.

Developing the player - AGE: Male 12-16 / FEMALE 11-15

• * Continue the development of technique and game understanding in players.
  * Devise practices that develop player's decision-making abilities in and out of possession and team tactics.
  * Foster individual physical development, competitiveness and commitment to set goals.
  * Promote commitment to maintaining intensity in training sessions.
  * Continually provide objective and constructive feedback: this is important in maintaining confidence and focus.

PHILOSOPHY: DEVELOPING THE PLAYER

• * During this stage, players enter peak height velocity (PHV: the growth spurt associated with the onset of puberty), which means that coaches will have to differentiate between early, normal and late maturing players.
  * Whilst a player may be 14 years old chronologically, they can be physically still 11 (late maturer) or up to 17 (early maturer). The physical development age of the player will dictate the physical input into their programme.
  * As players' skill and game competence develops, technical - tactical development becomes more emphasised.
  * During this stage, the player will be more identified as a committed athlete. This commitment should be reflected in the player being self-motivated, being able to work towards goals and being able to realistically evalutate their own ability.
  * Being able to regulate the training and number of games of individuals at this stage will prevent overloading of the players capacities, and provide equitable playing opportunities for young players regardless of their ability.
  * This means taking a player centred approach to balancing the demands put on talented players who may be approached to play for school, junior club, professional club, regional squads and Scottish age-group teams.
  * The focus of training is still on development: players' natural desire to win on the park should be fostered by the coaches, but training should not be focused on preparing a team to win, but on developing the individual players.

Preparing to compete - AGE: Male 16-18 / FEMALE 15-17

• * Encourage players to develop potential, demonstrate independent thought and skill execution and performances relative to overall team strategy in practice and competitive situations
  * Physical development is optimised and the player learns to adapt training to maximise competitiveness in matches whilst still training for longerterm development aims
  * Providing objective and constructive feedback, and involving players in reviewing this, to maintain confidence and focus

PHILOSOPHY: PREPARING TO COMPETE

• * This stage is focussed on improving core skills and tactical application (with positional specificity) in competitive environments. Building on this, there is also an emphasis on individualised physical development, with strength, power and anaerobic power (with aerobic endurance being developed as a consequence of appropriately designed anaerobic endurance training) being the focus of the training programme. There needs to be increased player and coach responsibility and expectation for commitment to achieving success. This means the player having full responsibility for managing their lifestyles to fully support the playing, training and education demands that will face players of this age.
  * Investing in appropriately managed, player centred programmes at this final development stage will enable more young Scottish players (who are better prepared) to move through to the professional game. National teams give our young players a developmental experience of competing in International football.

Preparing to win - AGE: Male 18+ / FEMALE 17+

• * Shaping fully developed players into a team that is prepared technically, tactically, physically and mentally to win matches consistently.

PHILOSOPHY: PREPARING TO WIN

• * This is the final stage of the player development process, and this lasts for the rest of the individual’s playing career.
  * The focus of training at this stage is about creating winning performances on every occasion, whether this is at club (regardless of level), professional club and/or international level.
  * To maximise performance the environment of the players must encourage the full spectrum of technical, tactical, physical conditioning and psychological support.
  * The higher the level a player is performing at, the more committed they must be. Being a top level performer means being an athlete 24/7.
  * The higher the level of performance the more specialist coaching and support expertise is required.

Coaching

Coach Education is a key component of Football Federation Australia’s Football Development Plan.

Coaches at all levels play a crucial role in ensuring that football is an enjoyable experience for everyone, as well as laying the foundation for the development of better players.

Footballers can be divided into two streams: those that are playing for fun, and those that are playing to reach the highest level possible. These are often referred to as ‘participation’ and ‘performance’.

In Australia, we have labelled these two streams as Community Courses and Advanced Courses.

To reflect the two streams and better meet their differing needs, our Education Programs have also been divided into two pathways:

• Community http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/get ... itycourses
• Advanced http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/get ... cedcourses

The Community Courses are short, affordable and locally available courses for those coaching local amateur teams whereas the Advanced Courses are long, intensive courses aimed at those who intend to become Professional Coaches.
