Re: FFA update the National Football Curriculum
page 15:
Barcelona, one of the world’s leading club teams, appear to be the extreme in
‘possession-based football’, consistently averaging around 68% possession
in the Champions League.
Spain, however, averaged 54% when they won Euro 2008, with only 48%
in the Final; they averaged 59% at Euro 2012, and in the Final had 47% in the
first half but thanks to Italy being a man down finished with a marginal 52%-48%
advantage.
What is important to stress here is that we should not start an ‘obsession with
possession’: the crucial point is this:
possession alone is not the key
It is foolish to believe that all you need to do in order to win football matches is end
up with a higher percentage of possession than your opponent. We are all aware
of matches in which the winning team’s possession statistics are inferior to those of
their beaten opponents.
At Euro 2012, Russia and Holland averaged 56% of the possession in their three
games, but went home after the Group Stage. England, despite only 36%
(25% during extra-time) against Italy, could have won the quarter-final shootout.
Possession is not an end in itself: it is a means to an end. What is the point in
keeping possession in your own half for minutes on end, if there is no end product?
The only statistic that matters is the scoreline!
What appears to be the difference with the really successful teams is how
possession leads to scoring chances.
The Euro 2012 report puts it this way:
"as in the UeFa Champions League, the challenge was to translate
possession and inter-passing into a positive attacking game"

page 26:
About why the isolated approach for training is no longer appropriate.
No more dribbling around cones or waiting on the end of queues for a shot at goals.

Re: FFA update the National Football Curriculum
I might be able to help with that one.
Page 96 is the introductory/warmup component of the training session for kids up to 8 years old.
From the FFA Coaching Manual on the introductory/warmup component of a training session:
"This is the only part of the session where drill-type exercises could be used as the warmup should essentially be unopposed".
Page 26 is referring to the overall approach to all training sessions - not just the warmup, not just 6 year old kids. It is providing an example of the isolated approach to training that has historically been used by many coaches at all levels. Modern football coaching is no longer based on the isolated approach to training and has been replaced by the holistic approach where training is game related. Page 26 is looking to demonstrate the difference between these two approaches.
Page 26 does not mean that isolated training should be "banned". There are situations where isolated training may be appropriate . For example the isolated approach may be appropriate for doing extra work on a particular technique at home. However the core of any teams training sessions should be based around the holistic approach and not the isolated approach.
