Soccer Coaching Tips

[TonyMcFadden]

Well, been here a bit longer and have a bit of a better understanding.

Club soccer (big push to call it football now) is the recreational soccer, split up regionally, and by age and division (division 1 being the aces, division 6 needing a lot of help)

There is also representative football (rep squads). These are the teams that develop kids to get up to professional status. Serious shit.

There is also a development program put on by Soccer NSW (still haven't changed their name) that starts at age 7 (I think). It follows the Coerver program (http://www.coerver.com) and train three night a week during the 'off-season' (essentially summer. Training started last night and goes to April-ish (when club football starts)

Bottom line, it is a serious program here.

I don't coach any more. My on is in the hands of paid professionals.
