Managing the Matchday Experience

One of the most common phrases coaches hear: 

“Can we play a match?”

How do we as coaches, supporters and volunteers help players to keep that life-long love for the game and provide the best possible experiences we can when it comes to a match day?

In this workshop coaches will explore some of the challenges faced but also the opportunities presented to them in terms of: 

• Linking training to a matchday
• Supporting the learning and enjoyment of the players
• How to plan, deliver and reflect effectively in relation to matchday

Supporting Players Through Different Formats of the Game

This workshop will help you to understand all the different formats of football: 5v5, 7v7, 9v9 and 11v11.

• How can you best prepare players to make the next step? 
• How can you use your time effectively, both in training and on matchdays, to ensure your players are ready to progress?
