1 Skills Badge Booklet

2 We believe that players develop to their full potential only by many hours of training. In Brazil and Argentina it is not unusual for young players to receive up to 20 hours a week of training, on top on practising in their own time and with their friends. We have developed our skills badge scheme in order to encourage all our players to practise at home on a regular basis. Even minutes a day of practising our core ball skills, juggling or passing will make a huge difference to your technical ability. We hope you use this booklet to help you practice regularly at home. We will do some skills badge work during training but the main focus of the scheme is on players practicing in their own time. Once you feel you are ready to be assessed on any of the areas within the scheme this can be done by an adult at home or ask us at training and we will assess you. At the back of this booklet is a table to record your assessments. On completion of a level players will receive a small trophy/medal and a badge which can be ironed onto your training shirt.
