The FA England DNA Workshops (12-16): Creating Positive Player Experiences
This CPD event will cover the following topics:
- How to better understand, build relationships with, and engage boys and girls in this age group
- How to gain a better understanding of your players
- The players’ stage of social and psychological development
- Play, practice and competition. What should it look like for this age group and how should it feel?
In this workshop we will look at engaging teenage players and how to tackle the high drop-out rates we see all too often in this age group. Research suggests that players choose to stop playing for many reasons. One of the main reasons shaping their choice is the quality of their experience, in both training and matches.
Young adolescent boys and girls are going through a lot of changes and it's essential for us to understand who the youngsters are as people, why they play and what they want from their experience.
During this workshop we will look at how coaches can better understand and engage boys and girls in this age group and what this looks like on-and-off the pitch and the impact this has on their playing experience.
