Soccer - The Beautiful Game Why soccer is such a great game for kids... Rules of the game - empowers players to make decisions and think for themselves! Sir Bobby Charlton, Sir Pele, Sir Alex Ferguson

Long - Term Development Sport Soccer players are not considered ‘mature’ in the game until their late 20’s! (27) Goalkeepers even later - ~ 32! Why--- as we discussed before, players have to read a very complex situation for themselves and have the skill to act on their read Lead players to fall in love with the game! Develop LIFE LONG PARTICIPANTS! Nothing about soccer that you teach them this year ...

Why what we do is so important... How many of you are parents?... Developing young PEOPLE, creating LIFE LONG PARTICIPANTS in the game Mentoring is your number 1 role! Importance of your role as COACH - they choose to be here

Child Development Theory Group Conversation... � -Mental / Social Characteristics of your age group -Technical Abilities of your age group -Physical Abilities / Characteristics of your age group -Tactical Understanding of players in your age group Get together with other coaches in your age group - U8-U10, U11-U12, U13-U14, U15-U16, U17-U18 (if time, pair with the age group on the other side - U10-U11, U12-U13, U14-U15, U16-U18) ---Report from each group on key markers in your age group - notable characteristics

Child Development Theory US Youth Soccer National Youth License - HIGHLY recommended! *Concrete thinking vs. Abstract thinking - correlation to how we train technique before tactics?

Growing Bodies and the Impact on Performance Pre-growth - children often become moody / regress Mid-growth - tired, listless, uncomfortable, regressive behavior Post-growth - energetic, more themselves but uncoordinated and more vulnerable to injury Awareness as a coach is important! Know your kids!

Learning Sport / Movement Skills The Tennis Ball Experiment... Positive vs Negative feedback It gets worse before it gets better... Fundamental first! - Learning to read, learning to ride a bike analogies “Spread Out!”...

Periodization Principles of Planning Macro and Micro Cycles 72 Hour Rule: From a physiological standpoint, a full match DEMANDS 72 hours for full recovery! � 24 Hour Rule: The day following a match is ALWAYS a recovery day. � 24 Hour Rule (part 2): The day following an overload training day is ALWAYS a recovery day. Awareness of other activities your players participate in is important! Definitions - Overload = 85 - 100% - Tech/tac training = 65 - 85% - Recovery = 50 - 65% Tournaments.... Diagram of a week of planning...

Injury Prevention and Fitness Our Primary Responsibility - Injury Prevention � PEP Program - http://smsmf.org/smsf-programs/ pep-program � FIFA 11+ http://f-marc.com/11plus/home/ CC Story - injuries can not be eliminated from the game, but they can be minimized!

Injury Prevention and Fitness Player Development / Age Group Considerations - SAID Principle - Almost ALL fitness training should include a BALL! Play SOCCER to get SOCCER fit! Growth plates, tight muscles (how kids grow - long bones first, then connective tissue...) LTPD Model - biggest need / pre-requisite for young players... Specific activities to teach coordination, balance, core strength, tumbling BUT the rest is SOCCER Implications for designing and planning your sessions? - ORGANIZED, lots of PLAY

Injury Prevention and Fitness Concussions / Head Injury Lystedt Law Key provisions The key provisions of the Zackery Lystedt Law are as follows: • Guidelines/education: Calls for school districts board of directors and state interscholastic activities association to develop concussion guidelines and educational programs. • Mandatory consent: Requires youth athletes and a parent and/or guardian sign and return a concussion and head injury information sheet on a yearly basis before the athlete's first practice or being allowed to compete; • Immediate removal if concussion suspected: Youth athletes suspected of having sustained a concussion in a practice or game must be immediately removed from competition; and • Written clearance before return to play: Youth athletes who have been taken out of a game because of a suspected concussion are not allowed to return to play until after: ◦ being evaluated by a health care provider with specific training in the evaluation and management of concussions and ◦ receiving written clearance to return to play from that health care provider (this does not strictly bar same day return to play). • Legal immunity: A school district complying with the law is immune from liability for injury or death of an athlete participating in a private, non-profit youth sports program due to action or inaction of persons employed by or under contract with the sports program if: ◦ the action or inaction occurs on school property ◦ the nonprofit provides proof of insurance, and ◦ the nonprofit provides a statement of compliance with the policies for management of concussion and head injury in youth sports. � � Read more: http://www.momsteam.com/washington/washington-state-sports-concussion-law-takes-lead-in-concussion-safety#ixzz3XbcAdJgC
