Foundation Phase Boys & Girls Programs
The Foundation Phase focuses on technical excellence & giving players the greatest opportunity and guidance to fall in love with the game.
This is achieved through utilizing small-sided games as the cornerstone to training. Players are forced to make decisions founded on their technical skillset. This way practices are fun and the learning is deeper and disguised within the game.
Our overall coaching approach is similar to gardening – 'we cannot force plants to grow, all we can do is provide the conditions for the growth and they will flourish.'
Our sessions are the same way and revolve around a simple checklist of must-haves:
- Does it look like the game?
- Is it fun?
- Does the session inspire players to train outside of practice?
