Under 17s Park
Mike Potter is the team coach and he has completed the FA Level 1 Coaching course.
This is the Coaching Philosophy that we aim to work achieve:
- The kids all enjoy themselves & have fun (training & matches)
- Fairness - all get the chance to play equally (each player must play at least 50% of each match)
- Praise & motivate all players regularly
- Instill a positive behavior & code of conduct for kids &parents
- Meet the needs of the individual player – understand all of them
- Let the kids make decisions, give them ownership, ask questions
- Rotate players in different positions – they learn more
- Let them try things, let them make mistakes, encourage creativity
- Work as a team (players, coaches & parents!)
Training on Fridays at 7pm at Montague.
