Coaching, Schoolboy and Youth Football

the club I was with in Dublin would have, as each year I supervised and mentored some U17s, who would run our accafemy for 5s-6s, then the next year would start managing an under 7s, this would role over each year, eliminating the problem with sons playing for fathers, plus looked good on kids CVs. They actually paid for my youth cert.

The club Im with now, im not so sure, Im gonna try convince them to get the Cover lads down and get a group rate, with a subsidey from the club.

When my lad start playen at 6 we lived in citywest and he start playen with Kilnamanagh in tallaght, we moved to newbridge in kildare he stayed with Kilnamanagh up to last year, under 12. he wanted to play with his mates in newbridge town, they won the kildare premier and the 2 kildare cups for their age. Decent side but not enough competition.

there some class lads there on the commettee, that know the value of developing a youth system, who you with BSM

alot of this type of stuff looks great when ye have the kids to do it with
i know its all about practice but ball masterery aint so easy when ye have kids who cant pass a ball 5yards,ye know what i mean?

I think I might try it out myself. Woud be another for the CV and there would be plenty of time for me to put the stuff into practice too!   Gonna ask Celtic for a few bob and see what they say

no harm to ask,would be great to catch u7-9 with this stuff,in particular the ball masterery stuff,the Ajax thing i was at included this in there presentation +was great to watch,the kids doing it were NDSL u14 elite squad,so they could play a bit,but ye dont wanna be stuck in the classroom for half the day learning about Coevers background etc-ye wanna be on the pitch-thats were the Ajax seminar fell short

yep no roar+applause when a centre half hoofs the ball 40yards,fukin wrecks me head when parents/managers do this,kids learn fuk all when the balls in the clouds

True that: The lad who done the team in kilnamanagh with me, had a great eye for a player, we got a player from manor town, had him at the back told to hoofff every time the ball came near him "cause he was tall".
1st season with us, played high on the left, 2nd season striker and top soccer, so much ability.

Ive got a 4month old now and I cant wait for him to start, im 5 times the coach now than when i started 6 years ago.

1sr Rule, Partents shut the fook up, I dont care if he is the next robbie keane, if you dont like it fook off, but he'll be the poorer for it
