Dainfern Country Club Football Club Philosophy

Paramount to Player Development must be a philosophy that encourages many repetitions with the ball involving various skills and match-like situations - correlation between frequency of ball touches and player development. There must also, be methodology that will enforce the philosophy. Too many times, coaches will confuse winning with Player Development. Winning at u-6 through u-14 ages can be accomplished with a couple of players who are athletically superior to other kids in their age group. Unfortunately, once every kid has gone through puberty and developed physically, the playing field becomes level leaving the player whom has relied on his/her athleticism at a disadvantage. It is also, during this time period that the players are most receptive to learning new skills. We encourage our coaches to focus on developing the players and their skills. The winning will take care of itself.

There are many factors that can influence the development of a player. Athleticism, coachability, motivation, size, speed and strength are some of these factors. Ball touches cannot be substituted for in development of a Premier player. The extra touches will give the player an edge on the competition. If you are a coach, you must try to develop training sessions that will challenge and increase the number of touches your players can have with the ball. We constantly remind ourselves "less talk more work"! We also try to incorporate a diverse training program that includes short-sided matches. If you adopt this philosophy of "lots of touches", you find that your players are having fun, developing, and winning more often than not.
