England DNA workshop (12-16): Principles of Play: in practice


The Youth Development Phase (YDP) England DNA

Throughout the 2019/20 season, The FA will be working with County FA (CFA) partners to better connect grassroots coaches across the country to the England DNA; the coaching and playing philosophy of all England teams.

This is an opportunity to make sure that every young player enjoys their football. By working together, we can give boys and girls across the country the best experience possible in the game, and we can overcome the unique challenges that occur in different age groups.

In this series of workshops, we concentrate on the Youth Development Phase (YDP). We will tackle specific topics and themes designed around the needs of players aged 12-16 and their coaches.


What is this workshop about?

In this workshop we explore how to help players learn the principles of play through game-related practice.

In order for players to better understand the game, they need lots of opportunities to practice in game-realistic situations. Understanding principles of play in the game, both individually and collectively, is vital for players as they develop.

In this workshop we share some simple games to use at training which will provide opportunities for players to learn and help coaches observe the principles of play in action. We discuss how to create sessions like these and discuss the importance of the principles of play when designing practice to aid the development of players.


What are the learning outcomes?

We will explore how we can create game-related practices that bring out the principles of play, focusing on:

  • Some simple game designs
  • Further clarity on the principles of play
  • How this impacts player development


This workshop is on Monday 25 November from 6.30pm - 9.30pm at the FDC, Bowthorpe, NR5 9ED.
