Coaching Philosophy
To create balanced sessions which develop the child as well as the footballer, ClubFootball coaches use the ‘4-Corner Model' as espoused by the English Football Association. This means that the course and each individual session is designed specifically to develop the Technical & Tactical, Physical, Psychological and Social areas. The graphic here shows the areas which will be incorporated during the course with the aim of your child's all-round holistic development, both as a footballer and as a healthy, active and confident young person.
ClubFootball follows the English FA's '4-Corner Model'
