...some 40+ games right there.

I can see it now, in the classic 4-4-2 formation, Larwood in goals of course, the full backs basically pick themselves and we would need some fearless, solid centre halves. In the middle, a General and another with unrivalled flair and creativity, while the wide men would cover a lot of ground to t...

The C licence is a significant step up from the junior courses but if you are serious about wanting to understand how to coach junior soccer players to be technically competent and develop players with the right habits then it's a must. is there lots of work to be done outside like assignements etc...

i think majority of people are becoming more educated on the winning-vs-development mentality in our game. i just hope we don't go too far in the opposite direction. Kids still need to want to win, its that mentality that separates the good from the elite. its up to the coaches to ensure that the w...

Oh
Younger group but a good team you had

Ahhhh, the memories of Ms Papepetros in that leather mini skirt 8) I would have to say the one of the finest teams I have ever played in was the St Pauls' Year 10 side in 1987. Great skirt..... "Ms Papepetros can you please pick up my pencil..." .."thank you" :D 1988 first XI wa...

Ernie Cooksey That's the one. The one where all the posh boys used to come on a weekend and cabernet themselves. yea...cause all the St Pauls boys are hard core!!!!! :wink: :lol: Not sure if they pinched the colours & Latin jargon from Irish C.B.C Monkstown? but the moto actually means "fi...

I always loved tackling Shanahan and Rogowski as hard as I could during the student teachers game....and if I could get a crack and Lurch ( Inge ) before he swung at me, that was always a good thing How about Lynchy... Ah, Mr Cooksey, tuck your shirt in :lol: janet, aliki, ms groobits.....& the...

Always did wonder what was stopping St. Paul's as they've had an old scholars egg ball team for at least 20 years. I know when I was there soccer was a naughty word, and the pinnacle of achievement was to be awarded your 1st xviii Guernsey in front of the whole school. :lol: Good luck with it all. ...

Adelaide City would like to say well done to the under 12 boys. it was a big achievement to get to the quarters finals and also winning the Fair Play Award. Also well Done to the Raiders. :D :D :D :D :D Well done to both SA teams. Who played off in the finals and won. Thanks... Cool hand Luke, Best...

The reasoning behind the 4-3-3 philosophy is not about the formation per se. It's all about the development of the individual at junior/youth level. It's the best formation to help develop technically gifted 'attacking' players. Most coaches should be aware that's it's easier to teach players/teams...

It's not a huge difference and people are mistaken; $550 - what do you get for that? $785 This includes: Home & Away Playing kits, ball, spray jacket & bag, team photo, trophy, presentation night. Also, no rosters for parents to run the canteen, mark the lines on the pitches. just this alon...

I like this paragraph & have to agree .......why would you leave a club close to your home if the coaching is fun, fair & of a high standard? Kids will play regardless of what league they are in. Peer pressure may entice them to leave but if they (the kids) think about why they are moving c...

Will young ZB leave? & why not? We developed him into a medal winning talent in the "industry Cup"..... :D Seriously though ask this boy why he won't leave his club?.....your club. Some people remain for their own reasons... & these may be the right reasons? im unfamiliar with you...

Just a couple of “points” to add to the discussion. 1) “Over the years there were 3 families at Raiders with 3 siblings in each who all play for Raiders (different age groups) they spend far too much time on their "logistical nightmare's" for each Sunday's game, sometimes one of their kids...

MG You are loyal to your club & this is something no-one can take from you & something I regard as extremely respectable.... You sound mature beyond your age & have shown in your words passion that drives your ambition.....coaching is a challenge regardless of how long we be doing it. On...

Like I said before ....."snap shot"......2 games......120 minutes .....13 free kicks .....3 yellow cards. If a kid damages a player would it not be suitable to speak to him, they can come off & on throughout the game...the teacher...the game. The parents are not accustomed to seeing k...

Matty2323 The talented boy missed Tuesdays Raiders session and also his STIC training session, the other talented boy who we carried off on Sunday is on crutches & will miss 2 weeks of football. Hard at the ball & tackling .....is this something we should be teaching 11yo? I guess this is a...

Matty 2323 I understand what you are saying, especially about kids playing at their optimum level. However unfortunately senior teams are not able to attract decent crowds no matter how good their team is or what league they are in. Why is it that many people don’t go to watch? I believe it is beca...
