Would you like a place free of trial and without an agenda?Let’s present our free community soccer community. Just click Gentleman.

You’re not a trained S&C coach. You don’t have an array of fitness equipment. You barely even know what you’re doing at the gym. So why are you doing bleep tests with kids?This summer, across the many camps I’ve worked, I have been inundated with stories from kids and parents of how their coach is insisting on preseason fitness work, and this invariably means bleep tests. I know it’s not becoming to bash volunteers, and ripping on grassroots coaches trying their best is not always fair, however, these kids deserve better.What is the job of a grassroots coach?In a nutshell,…
Si tantos equipos de base están actuando como equipos de la academia, ¿dónde juegan el resto de los niños?Creo que esta es una pregunta que vale la pena dar más y más días de tesis. El fútbol de base en Inglaterra está copiando rápidamente el modelo de pago de los deportes juveniles estadounidenses. No queremos ese futuro. Los niños tienen un precio fuera del juego, todo es muy serio, perdemos muchos niños del deporte y muy pocos realmente disfrutan.Antes de entrar en detalles, siento que es necesario prefacio esto con un par de puntos. Las discusiones en línea parecen carecer…
Currently I am studying the MBP Master in High Performance Football. It’s a course I first learned about in 2015. So many excellent coaches have completed it, and now I have the opportunity. This is one of several MBP courses I have done, including their Youth Soccer Expert course, which I undertook in Barcelona last year. As always, high quality, and very in depth.At the start of this latest course, which is similar to a football studies degree course, we’re learning about defining what football is. Perhaps philosophical in nature, but it is important to understand what the game is,…
Recently I have read some online speech that surrounds silent weekends in the base matches, with people arguing for and against them. We should not need them, because parents should have it. But we need them, because you don’t behave. But also the coaches complain, because they can enter as much as they would like. Which leads me to the question within the title of this article; Do you know what they are supposed to do?For a long time I believed that a coach should be working hard to make obsolete issues. Train and prepare players so well that they…
If you’re about to get into futsal, and want a general idea of what you’re supposed to do and how the game works, here’s some things I wish I was told when I first started.Think of it like this; if you don’t score, the opposition will. Here’s two chances where we should have scored, didn’t, and conceded immediately. When attacking, you commit so many players forward, that you are left exposed and wide open for counters. When we say “finish the move” what we mean is that the ball must go over the end line when you attack. Essentially, either…
This will be one of the first of several pieces about the PSV Interest Days at the PSV Eindhoven Coaching Academy. A great experience that I highly recommend to all coaches. Keep your eyes peeled, as we’ll go into more detail about various aspects.The experience at PSV, as you will have seen on social media, was so open and candid. They hid nothing. They treated us as equals and really made us feel part of the club. One of the reasons why they could be so candid is because of their belief in what they are doing, and their firm…
By now, you’re likely well aware of the Interest Days with the PSV Coaching Academy. You’ve likely seen that they are highly recommended by ourselves and others. Perhaps you’re considering a trip yourself. It’s likely that most, if not all readers of this article will have not been to Eindhoven. So I thought I’d share my trip with you to show you how easy it is to get there and to get around.Questions you may have will likely include;How can I get to Eindhoven?How do I travel around in Eindhoven?Where should I stay?Can we watch games?How many days should I…
This article was written by coach Gavin Murphy, based on his experience in Sacramento Duration, the summer of 2019.He always has a dream of mine to train in the United States, specifically in California, and last summer I had to do exactly that. They offered me the position of “Camp Counselor” in a Saccer/Futsal Company, based in Sacramento, in northern California.After some delays, I collected my passport (with visa) at 6 in the morning of June 7. When leaving the collection office, I reserved my flight for 11 am on June 7. I got home, I packed my bags and…
We’re behind, and their foundations mean we’re going to fall even further behind.Aztecs On Tour: Southampton Aztecs Women attend the Atlantis Mondial Femenin in Nantes.With lots of entertainment options available in modern life, why should you spend a few minutes reading this article? Futsal is not a major sport in England, so who cares that the French are better than us? Especially the women! Well, for one thing, it mirrors what can be achieved in football. And if you want England, or your own country, to be better at football, we should really embrace futsal. Both as a sport, and…
