  7. Try Out Dates

  8. Friday Night- Development Clinics

  9. Friendlies The amount of soccer games played by our teams is an issue. We play too many games! We should be decreasing the number of friendlies on a Saturday. Alternatively we are promoting: • Extra technical practice or tactical session • Unstructured play or small sided games (4v4’s) • Arest day • U9-11 is the key time to develop our children into better soccer players, therefore more environments which allow learning the better our children will be. • U12-14’s is an age where tactics become more prominent therefore use this time to work on tactical aspects of the game.

  10. U9-12’s Player Development • At this stage, the main component of the training session will be technical. • It is sensible at this age to develop technique and basic tactical understanding. • Children’s capacity to solve problems increases significantly. Therefore players will begin working on basic and dynamic tactical scenarios. • At this stage, players are pre-pubescent and have important physical limitations in terms of strength and endurance.

  11. U13-14’s Player Development • Players at this age develop a good understanding of the game. • However, these players are limited by their physical size and the significant changes, which arise with puberty. Safety should be considered each practice. • The coach must be cautious to avoid overtraining - should focus more on tactical and technical elements of the game and less on the physical aspects. • Tactical training plays an important role at this age. Use a Saturday and go over tactical work- go watch a game.

  12. Specific positions played50% playing time and position rotation (U9-12’s) 50 % playing time and Specific position (U13-14’s)

  13. Ending the practice • Finish each practice session with 20-15 minutes of play. • SSG’s or large sided games. • No coaching- let them play • Observe and evaluate if the session topic translates into the game.

  14. Fitness Consultant- Carlos Silva • For the older ages U12-14’s if you require supplementary conditioning please reach out to Carlos. • The session can be set up on a- as requested basis • This could be done in small groups or full teams • U9-11’s this could be a good opportunity to expose the children to some SAQ (speed, agility and quickness) sessions. • PLEASE- use this as an addition session not your 3 hours a week technical/tactical practice. • Carlos Silva- topofthegame@cox.net

  15. Seasonal plans USYS/US Soccer have recommendations which we used and produced our ownin alignment to them. See website and please use. T

  16. Style of play/Formations • GHSC Recommend: • We want to play out from the back, and possess the ball whilst attacking when possible. This is idealistic, not every team will be able to play this. • 8v8 to play 3-3-1 • 11v11 to play 4-4-2,4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1. • Please refrain from changing your formation every week. Keep it simple!

  17. Club Policies • Policy on playtime: • Hartwell policy is that everyone will play at least 50% of the game. • Player’s time is directly connected to practice and participation. If a player regularly misses practice, it will affect playtime. • Field Trash Pickup • All teams responsible for trash/recycle pickup after practices and games. • Parks and Rec may fine GHSC for failure to police grounds and place collected items in appropriate bins • Player Sharing • Especially in the spring when children play multiple sports we are encouraging movement between Blue, White and Red if needed. • Also if the age group above needs players feel free to ask for talented individual’s to play up. • Respect the Referees • Many refs are kids from within GHSC • Please contact John Maher with any issues regarding referee conduct

  18. GHSC Field Closing Policy • Updated field closing policy found on GHSC website • Field open unless notified otherwise • Player safety paramount • Notification via email/text (if registered) and posted on website. • Field closing decisions goal (except sudden/unexpected) • Weekdays – by 3:30 PM • Weekends – 2 hours prior to event (game, clinic, practice)

  19. First aid/Injury and Concussions. • Please take a common sense approach to any injury. • If a player is hurt- deal with it to the best of your ability. • Inform the parent of the injured child. • Concussion Facts: A concussion is a brain injury and all concussions are serious. • Concussion symptoms: Sustains a blow to the head or has rapid head movement (can even be a mild blow), confusion, headache, nausea, sluggish, memory issues, answers questions slowly, dizzy, vision issues or just doesn’t “feel right”. • Next season all coaches will require to take a CDC (Concussion training course). • Enforce “When in Doubt – Sit It Out” policy for your team. • More information forthcoming from GHSC CDC Concussion in Youth Sports document: • CDC’s website: http://www.cdc.gov/concussion/pdf/coaches_Engl.pdf

  20. Communication with DOC I want to know how is: • Practice • Trainer • Games • Player progression • Team progression • If the seasonal plan is appropriate • Etc…. the list is endless. • Please also talk to your trainers- communication is key.

  21. Any questions? Thank you for listening!
