1 CSC Philosophy and Principles of Junior Football Development 2014

2 Introduction Camden Tigers Soccer Club is commi7ed to junior player development. The Club aims to give each child the opportunity to develop their football skills to play to the best of their ability. The Club, via its coaches, will implement a football curriculum in accordance with the 2013 Football FederaEon Australia (FFA) curriculum, for players from U/6 to U/17 years. The success of the implementaeon of the curriculum will come from match- day not in the form of results, but in the form of the style of play, both from an individual and more importantly, from a team.

3 Our vision To be a leader in the development of junior footballers in the Macarthur Football Association The environment Coaches at CSC will create a safe, open and posieve learning environment, where all junior players know they can come to learn, improve and have fun in a total football environment. Program delivered All sessions will be delivered in accordance with the FFA Building Blocks methodology.

4 Team Coach Role and Responsibilities Coaches should be positive at all times. Coaches are expected, at all Emes, to follow the FFA Curriculum. Each session should be conducted in accordance with the FFA training modules, with a clear objeceve and pre- determined coaching points. Training sessions must be well organised, up- beat and challenging. Kids must have lots of touches with the ball and all kids must be involved in the session.

5 FFA curriculum Guiding principles 1. Proactive rather than reactive playing style An a7acking style of play, rather than a defensive style. 2. Possession- based rather than direct play Controlled passing, rather than the long ball from back to front. 3. Effective possession is the key Translating possession and passing into positive attacking play, that results in goal- scoring opportunities.

6 FFA curriculum Guiding principles. 4. Proactive defending and quick counter- attacking. Immediate pressure on ball carrier to win ball back; followed by quick transition to attacking play 5. Team combination play, together with creative individuals Encourage both team play and unpredictable individuals the match winners

7 Again, the success of the implementation of the curriculum will come from match- day not in the form of results, but in the form of the style of play, both from an individual and more importantly, from a team. It s about player development, not results.

8 Holistic v s Isolated An important change in approach.. The FFA curriculum does not use isolated training drills that is, individual drills such as juggling and fitness drills without the ball. Instead it adopts a holisec approach, where football skill development is incorporated in passing praceces and game training situaeons Everything is learnt in a football situaeon.

9 The Building Blocks Source: FFA NaEonal Football Curriculum, p. 25

10 FFA Playing Formations U/6 U/7 4 x4 Learning to master the ball No formaeon / tacecs consist of only very general instruceons. U/8 U/9 7 x7 Learning to act with the ball purposefully formaeon / basic tacecal instruceons / everyone plays all posieons. U/10 U/11 9 x9 Learning to play together purposefully formaeon / limited tacecal instruceons / talent for specific posieons more clear. (but sell flexible) U/12 U/13 11 x 11 Learning the posieons and basic tasks in 11 v formaeon: Extending tacecal instruceon explaining the posieons and basic tasks.
