📑Training Plans and Managers Handbook
Wednesday and Thursday sessions will be led by team managers, overseen and supported by Head of Coaching Ashley G and SZ Age Group Co-Ordinator's Affiq and Valentino.
Starting this week, managers will be using sessions plans developed in keeping with Ashley's Rules and Principles as set out in the Managers Handbook. Please take a look at this as it's the core of how we want to train and develop our players.
🚨Please note, any team where your manager has moved on, Age Group Co-Ordinators will lead your session until a new manager is appointed. We are interviewing potential managers this week so will aim to have manager vacancies filled very soon.
🖥️Coaching Webinar
We are also planning to host our first Coaching Webinar, hosted by Ashley G, on Monday 23rd June. The aim will be to explain our Managers Handbook, including rules and principles of practice, to you as the grownups that support our players. We think the more you know about our approach, the better placed you will be to support our players development.
More info to follow.
Looking forward to seeing you all this week.
