7 AD Case Studies: There are, and have been, a number of success stories and successful case studies of players from the T&G programme However more recently, 2 of our ex T&G Players have joined our Coaching Team as Modern Apprentices within the Community Department at Walsall FC. Liam, 18, is now a full time coach and Mario, 18, is striving to obtain a 2 nd year as an apprentice. Both of which were founder players when the Development Programme started back in Both of which have taken full advantage of the Coaching Pathway we have in place, and been given an opportunity post U16 to continue their development, in a Coaching capacity with us at Walsall FC Community Programme.

8 MW Case Studies: Sunny Sanghera, U16, has been player within our Talented & Gifted Development Programme for the last 4 years, and within this time he has progressed from our Advanced Development to the Elite Development Tier. Sunny said: "I'm really enjoying working with the younger Goalkeepers and beginning to build a positive rapport with them. "It is great to see the goalkeepers improving, and knowing I'm having a small impact on their development makes me extremely proud." As well progressing well as a Goalkeeper, Sunny has always demonstrated a fantastic work ethic, a willingness to learn and an ability to work within a group, as well as independently. All attributes which could be transferred to the coaching aspect of the game. "We feel as a Development Programme, as well as offering Talented players the opportunity to develop as a player, it's essential we provide individuals with the a skill set and opportunity to enhance their skills to the coaching aspects of the game."

19 MW Cost & Payments: All payments are to be paid on a half termly basis, within the first week on a new 6 week cycle. For any reason you are unable to half termly, and wish to play on sessional basis, please speak to your son s coach. Cheques can be made to Walsall FCCP for those wishing to pay in this way. It is easier for us to manage the subscriptions if payments are made in full at the first session of every half term. Payments records are kept by the Coaches and in our Community Office. The breakdown of coaching fees within each Development Tier are as follows The Elite Development (Tier 1) Coaching Fees are 50 per Half Term (x6). This will be over a 6 week period and consisting of 12 sessions. The Advanced Development (Tier 2) Coaching Fees are 45 per Half Term (x6).

20 AD MEDICAL CONSENT FORM: OUR RESPONSIBILITY: We have a medical consent form that we would like all parents to sign. This form is to give consent for medical emergency decisions to be made by hospitals in the event of serious injuries when parents are noncontactable. CONTACT & COMMUNICATION: Due to the increase in numbers of players Marc is finding it difficult to contact all players for every situation that arises. All coaches should have a completed Registration Form renewed each season to update records annually. You will find that contact and communication will be through the coaches of the age groups. Likewise, can parents get into the habit of contacting their coaches rather than Marc (unless he is your coach!) CONTACT TIMES: Please only contact coaches between 9am and 5pm weekdays. weekend. Text message is the preferred method of contact. Emergency contact only evenings and Please communicate player availability, holidays & injuries for matches and training with your coach. POLICIES AND PROCEDURES: As a registered charity we are governed by the EFL Trust. As such we have a number of policies and procedures in place for the safe governance, welfare and safeguarding of staff, participants, parents and partners.

21 AD Assessments: As in previous years, all Elite Development (Tier 1) players will receive an Assessment mid-way through the 36-week scheme and at the end of the season. These Assessments will be on a one-to-one basis with the coaches. The results of which will determine the progression routes for all players. In addition to this, Elite Development players will now also receive written feedback on a more frequent basis on 4 separate occasions. 2 before the half season formal assessment (Week 6 & 12) and 2 sandwiched between the 2 formal sit down assessments (Week 24 & 30). A formal Assessment will be given to all signed Advanced Development Players within Tier 2, players will be given an Assessment Form twice a season to mirror what the Elite Development Players will be receiving. No formal one-to-one meeting will be held at this point due to facilities and time constraints, any additional feedback you require, feel free to or call your son s Head Coach. The mid-way assessment will be used to inform players of their progress so far, and point out any strengths or weaknesses. As these assessments are an opportunity for parents to speak on a one-toone basis, each time slot will be a maximum of 15 minutes. The date for first assessments will take place before February Half Term. It is possible that players could be moved within Centres at these assessments, either up or down. No formal assessment will be given to players within the Assessment/Development Centre (Tier 3). They will be assessed on a 6 week cycle by their coach, with movement within Tiers likely to be more frequent.

22 MW Expectations: As an invite only Development Programme, any player offered the opportunity to be signed within our Tier System, is deemed of the standard required within that particular Tier. As we are all aware, players of all ages can develop at a quick rate than others, and at different ages within their development. But ultimately all players will find their level As Coaches, one of our responsibilities is to ensure that each individual player is given the opportunity to thrive within the Tier that is most appropriate for them within each stage of their development. However, a number of considerations have to be taken, particularly when moving players up within the Tier System. The size of the group above. The standard of the individuals above (Better or Different). Direct comparisons with a similar type of individual player. The confidence and temperament of the player (Strive or Struggle) Would the player benefit from being one of the best players and staying with his current group. Their current physical development. Overall impact and consistency, both within training and games programme.

23 Goalkeeper Training: As Goalkeeping is such a specialised position, it is essential that they receive the required Technical Coaching, as well as their Game Understanding Coaching with their age group. The Goalkeepers will attend the 2 nd session of the week of the outfield training programme, due to the sessions being more game related (See Coaching Delivery Timetable for Tier and Age Group training days). The Goalkeeper Sessions are as follows... Tuesdays; 5pm 6pm (Development U7 s-u16 s) at Shelfield Community Academy (Astroturf) Fridays; 5pm 6pm (Elite & Advanced U7 s U16 s) at The Banks s Stadium (Astroturf). We have to be very selective when signing Goalkeepers, for obvious reasons only 1 Goalkeeper can play at one time. However due to our new Tier System, we have the capacity to have 2 Elite (Tier 1) and 2 Advanced (Tier 2) Goalkeepers within each age group. Only if they are of the required standard of course. Assessments for the Goalkeeper will mirror the format in which the outfield player take, twice a season. Based on these Assessments a decision will be which tier is most suitable. Goalkeepers within the Development Centre (Tuesday s) will have the progression route of moving up to the Elite and Advanced Tiers if appropriate.

24 MW Training Kit: As always if players have purchased our Training Kit, we would like them to wear it for both training and matches as it adds professionalism to the Programme. For players who are recently signed to our Programme, or require a new kit, within any of the 2 Tiers, can purchase the Training Kit from our Online Shop, on our website Or if you wish to go direct to the Macron website, As of the start of the 2018/19, all signed players within the Elite and Advanced Programme will be required to purchase the Training Kit Starter Pack. This Starter Pack will consist of a Training Top, T- Shirt, Shorts & Socks, and will also act as playing kit within the Games Programme. To have all players training in the same kit adds professionalism and maintain high standards.
