Age Transition Workshops Announced!
We’re holding a series of engaging workshops throughout June and July to support coaches who will work with a team that will be changing their format of football for next season.
Coaches and managers who will be taking a team at U9, U11 and U13 for the 2018/19 season will be able to access these workshops for free. Led by former Gillingham FC academy manager and current Maidstone United coach, Darren Hare, this workshop will help coaches to discover the tactical, technical, social and physical elements of the game that will change at their new 7v7, 9v9 or 11v11 format.
Luke Baker, Football Development Officer for Youth Football said, “It’s really important that as coaches, we recognise the challenges we may face in moving from one format of the game to another. We then need invest time in ensuring we continue to provide a safe, enjoyable and inclusive environment that players can love. This series of new workshops will support coaches with this.”
Each lasting three hours, these workshops will be partly classroom based but also include a practical demonstration from Darren who will be working with a team who will be transitioning across the format as well.
We hope that you will be able to attend this workshop to develop your own knowledge and to support your team as they move up an age group.
