Players - What we expect from you as the player…

  That you come willing to learn from each session and don’t stop others from learning. 

  That your behaviour is to a high standard, treating others in the group with respect so that we have a safe and fun session.

  Have a go at coming up with your own answers to problems during sessions and games, try something new…

  Use every opportunity to practice and be ready to come to the next session and show us what you are learning.

 

Parents - What we expect from you as the parent… 

  To allow the players the freedom to express themselves during practices, refraining from coaching, shouting or providing instruction from the sideline.

Let the players play, 

experiment and have fun!

  To reinforce a key learning messages - its ok if you don't grasp a new skill or technique straight away, mistakes are part of the learning process and creativity is to be praised and not discouraged. 

  To support your child’s post session reflection… For example “What did you learn today?” “How did you use this in the game?”, “What problems did you face and how did you solve these?”

  To encourage your child to take ownership of their own practice by giving them 

opportunities to practice in their own time. 

  Work with them, help them out, but remember let them make the decisions…

 

Coaches - What you can expect from us as the coaches… 

  We will be professional and organised throughout, providing a safe and fun environment for children. 

  We will praise positive behaviour and attitude rather than focusing on negative behaviour.

  We will provide opportunities for the players to have a go at solving game related problems.

  We will encourage creativity, imagination and incorporate variety in practice.

  We will create a positive learning environment where players can be independent decision makers.

  We will plan appropriate sessions and challenges to meet individual player and group needs using our FA four corner coaching model. 

(Technical, Psychological, Physical, Social)

  We will continue to critique ourselves in order to improve our service and will encourage feedback from players and parents
