TRAINING GAME SATURDAY/NEW FUTSAL NIGHT/SUMMER FOOTBALL

Firstly well done to all for doing the fun run on Saturday morning and participating ,  all the money raised go's to club and nice to see every one attended apart from Mitch ( who I ran for ) who with his persisting  knee problem me Gary and Faith thought it best he rests for a while to let it settle down. Faith had a problem with her ankle a while ago and rest seemed to have sorted her problem out I hope .On that note please tell me if your son or daughter is suffering with on going injuries as sometimes playing through them will lead to problems later on in life . As we have now finished our league games and the pitches close down soon im trying to use the games we play to put the kids in  different  formations  and see what they come up with .We played a wing back system which allows our wide players to play in a channel with two narrow midfielders and one player playing up top .I've heard numerous coaches saying you shouldn't use tactics with kids of this age group, I completely disagree, why not, you wont know if they understand it unless you try it and I definitely think we have the players to play this way . They  would understand how to play wide because we play the wing game in training sometimes so that has sown a seed due to the   repetition, last week at training with  Nick the FA tutor we played offside which they wont have to do till u/11 but why not do it occasionally now to allow them to have  had  experienced it and the nearer they get to 11 the more we will play it. All comes  down to what they call guided discovery where the coach puts the system or small sided game in place and  the rules of the game dictate how they play rather than me telling them. All these ideas come  from the youth module courses I have attended a great introduction into the way kids think at that age .The game I thought we played some really nice possession based football some of the pass & move was outstanding, the result was  totally irrelevant I wanted to see how we played giving the formation I challenged them with  and the answer was there for all to see.   Archie got some game time and we nicked  Bailey again !!!!!  . I like to keep everyone updated as to what im doing with the kids in training and in matches and I use the blog to get that out there as we all live 100 mph life's so don't get time to explain during training or a matches.


Futsal


Ive been offered by a local school Tuesday nights to set up another Futsal night as with Mondays bursting at the seems and I would really like to aim this towards 7 & 8 year olds the  only times available are 6.30 to 7.30 which im not sure if that's too late, so if you know of anyone that would be interested in these times and Futsal let me know .The Mondays will stay the same with mixed age groups


Summer Football


Some will be glad to put there kids football boots away for the summer but I know mine will still want to play so  I am also looking if enough interest is  there to do something on a Saturday over the summer when the training at BHFC stops open to everyone.  I am looking  at a  two hour training session the structure will be  same as we do now but with 15 mins ball manipulation and 15 mins on using there weaker foot.
