PHILOSOPHY

Technical training is the foundation of a footballer's development. Young player must learn these techniques in the early stages of their footballing life.

This technical base that is formed enables players to participate properly in the game, combing with their teammates. Passing, receiving and dribbling are fundamental skills that any young player should possess in order to progress.

Technique is obviously the most important aspect but without tactics is no use to anybody . There is a big difference between a highly skilled individual and a complete football player.

If a player does not make his skills available to the group and his decisions are outside the context of the game he is unable to play successfully in this sport.

A player's technical capacity allows them to "execute" the necessary changes to "resolve" a situation within a game and this is the objective of combining technical and tactical training.

METHODOLOGY

The coach must be an educator and example to the player who can lead and teach . It is not only the players that are different from each other but the coaches too and this is why team is unique. The task to lead the young player along the path , helping them to learn. Good communication between the coach and the player are vital and can mould behavior and the ability to adapt during training. Good communication is based on you speaking to the players correctly, you body lanquage and intonation... which are all aimed at correcting and ancouraging improvement. This communication should be used to direct and provide instruction, such as corrections or to provide guidance so that they do as you ask.

We can organize the methodology of the technical/tactical training in a simple way as follows:
1.Analytical work - ideally working in rows, circuits and squares using decision making and having many participants . The most important aspect is learning.

2.Technical games
3.Games that apply to football
4.Matches

“...not only are we developing poor technical players... we are creating poor decision makers. We need players who have the ability to play in the future - a vision to know what to do before receiving the ball. This wont change unless we get rid of the drills.”
