Schedule:

Workshops

Session 1

Jackie Bushell will deliver a predominantly practical based session showcasing Futsal and what the sport has to offer our young players.  Not quite an 'Introduction to' but to enhance coaches existing knowledge of this fast paced, tactical game.

Session 2 

Jeff will bring elements of 'The Importance of Confidence' online course to life in this practical workshop. Working with youth players, Jeff will demonstrate how coaches can integrate mental skills into their existing training programme. Coaches will discover strategies to support their players ability to dismiss the doubts and fears that hinder self-confidence, and will acquire the skills to create an environment where all young players can reach their full potential.

Session 3

In this practical and theory based session, Matthew will work players from the Youth Development Phase and within the Technical corner of the FA's Long Term Player Development 4-Corner Model.
