The Match Day Experience

As part of our Coach Development Offer, we are delighted to confirm our next face to face event during the 2021/22 season to support our coaches. Throughout these events, we will continue to provide learning opportunities and resources to our coaches that will support the development of more skilful players, more inspirational opportunities and develop more transformational coaches.

Join us on Thursday 24th March 2022 as Daniel Fenner (Diversity & Inclusion Officer, The FA), Yasar Latif & Kyri Zavros (FA Mentors) deliver a face to face session on The Match Day Experience.  This event will be a mixture of theory & practical utilising a Middlesex FA England Accredited club for the practical aspects of the session.

Questions this workshop will aim to answer:

How do I plan for Match Days more effectively?

• What does organisation look like on a match day to help improve the experience for the players?
• In what ways can I help the players and myself reflect on the match day experience for future learning?
• Who else can support me on match days?

What can coaches expect to take away?

• Some thinking and planning tools to support coaches on a matchday BEFORE and DURING the match day.
• Some coach self-reflection tools AFTER the match day

Are there any tasks to complete ahead of the event?

• Something to think about: What is the purpose of a match day for you and most importantly, your players?
• Watch the 90 second video provided in your confirmation e-mail and come prepared to share your thoughts around some of the key topics mentioned.

Overview of the event

“Can we play a match”
One of the most common phrases we hear when working with enthusiastic players who love the game. How do we as coaches, supporters and volunteers help keep that life-long love for the game and provide the best possible experiences we can when it comes to a match day?

In this workshop, we will aim to explore some of the challenges faced by coaches on a match day but also, the opportunities that it presents in terms of the following key aspects:

• Linking training to a match day.
• Supporting the learning and enjoyment of the players.
• How to plan, deliver and reflect effectively in relation to match day.

We will explore these areas through practical delivery and discussion to help you make the most of the favourite part of the week and give you some food for thought to support you throughout the season, with some hints, tips and ideas for you to take away and try out with your own players.
