Curriculum

We recommend that all practice sessions follow the S.C.O.R.E. method:

• SIMPLE. Stick to one theme during your practice session. Choose 2 or 3 core

coaching points and reinforce them throughout the session.

• CHALLENGING. Ensure that the players are posed problems that they need to

find solutions to. Provide guidance and help when they need it.

• ORGANISED. Plan every detail of your session - how many players, space and
• equipment. Ensure that your sessions have the appropriate pace and

progression to challenge all of your players.

• RELEVANT. Ensure that the exercises in your session are relevant to the game.
• ENJOYABLE. The players should walk away from every practice having

thoroughly enjoyed the session and learning at least one new aspect of the game. WUSC Curriculums, available online, are coach login and password protected Username: WUSC Coaches Password: Soccer2015

• Friday is most popular practice nights!
• Town Trash Initiative (Green School Campaign) – Reusable water bottles &

Clean-Up

Fields - General Points (2)

• Please have your team pick up all trash after practice and

games (including orange peels)

– Pay particular attention at Elm Bank, which is a carry in/carry out facility

• Please do not use goal mouths for practice on grass fields

– Move goal off end lines, play in between fields if possible

• Return goals to original location if moved for practice
• Schofield will not be used for games this season but is

available for practice.

• Sprague games on field 2 and 3 (turf) pick up and return

corner flags and their bases after late games

Goal & Net Safety

• Always inspect goals before each match and/or practice.
• Always ensure goals are secured with sand bags on back bar or sidebars

– 9v9 min 1 sand bag on back bar – 11v11 2 sand bags on back bar – 7v7 grass field goals do not need sand bags

• Never allow anyone to climb or play on the goal or net
• Never allow anyone to hang on the goal crossbar (e.g. chin-ups)
• Movable goals should only be used on level (flat) fields.
• Instruct players on safe handling and potential dangers associated with

movable goals.

– Coaches and/or parents should move goals; not youth players – When moving wheels should be rotated to allow easy moving. When in place replace wheels so frame contacts ground. – Push when ever possible, do not pull goals – Do not move with sand bags on back bar however replace sand bags when moved
