National Curriculum – help for Coaches designing training drills For the coaches, FFA (Football Federation Australia) has a document which in it contains numerous

games for training that help focus on the key skills based on age group. I encourage all coaches or

potential coaches to review these sections. The document is large, but basically you can go to the

section relevant to your age group as follows:

- U6 to U9 - Discovery Phase page 92

- U10 to U13 Skills Acquisition Phase page 127

- U14 to U17 Game Training page 189.

Setting up your Friday training will never be easier if you incorporate the games and skills focus that are

outlined in this document.

The document can be downloaded at

THE FOOTBALL RAMBLER “for the hardcore enthusiasts”

An interesting article from the web

Why Vision is essential to be a good player

I’ve been in this game for years and when I speak with other players or coaches about youth and coaching, I always get the same ole lackey responses.

“We must teach first touch!” “We must coach dribbling skills!” “Speed is so important in the modern game!”

Well ok, when teaching the game all of those are important and my colleagues are genuinely correct. But, how I see it, “vision” is by far the most powerful skill! Now let me explain why.

There are some fortunate souls who are born with the innate skill of good vision. However, the rest of us need to cultivate and really work on forming this skill. Just like any other skill be that, speed, dribbling, passing etc. You should also work on your vision.

Why vision is important in soccer?

• Vision creates calmness

With good vision you will promote other important qualities like calmness. Take for example you are in the midst of high-pressure situations. If you see where your opponents are, and where they are coming from you are more capable of trapping the ball in the right direction away from the high-pressure defence. Also, with good vision you will know where your teammates are located at in regards to the opponents high-pressure. This allows for a smart one touch pass, or just being tranquil with possession. Since you know where opponents and teammates are at you are already ahead of the game!

• Vision helps with trapping

Trapping is very important and of course you need the ability to trap physically but you also need to be aware of who’s around you. Being calm because you know where your teammates are positioned is an enabler to your trapping ability. Your first touch will be calm, since you are confident and know where people are around you. Your support and square pass is just one trap away!

• Vision helps dribbling and passing

Imagine you receive a ball, and you see everyone on the field because of your awesome vision. You have time to take someone on so you start dribbling. You make a move, and then you notice someone coming in from the side to double-team you. Then in the corner of your eye you notice a teammate moving into position for a quick one two. You then fake one-way but pass to your teammate and your teammate does a one-two with you. You just faked out two guys because of your vision.

Some players because of their natural born ability may forsake good vision; however, once they get older and their skill starts to fade their vision will become all the more important. So why not work on it NOW! (Note: Most good players have great vision.)

COACHES BOX

When is a Bye not a Bye?? This is my eleventh season in Junior/Youth soccer. For most of those years I’ve

been involved in coaching teams. I have a name for the entire era. I call it

“the wilderness years”. I’ve studied and learned from some of the world’s great

coaches. I can’t remember who it was that came up with this sobering

quotation, “every win takes you one step nearer to your next defeat”. I’ve

come up with an adaptation of that quote. It goes “every defeat takes you one step nearer

to a, er…..another defeat”. I’ve got so used to losing matches that my attempts to lift the

players after yet another loss has become habitual. Usually I’ll spout some garbage about us

coming oh so close and I’m sure our first win in seven years is just around the corner and how

we dominated the fourteen seconds after half time and how unlucky we were to concede

seventeen!! After each of our first three matches this season I’ve launched into my usual spiel

only for Big Dave or one of the players to tentatively interrupt me after about twenty five

minutes to point out that we actually won the match which can actually shed a new light on

things. Three wins and on Saturday we were supposed to have the bye when the Federation

discovered that our opponents were in fact a “phantom” team, whatever that is. However,

some meddling bureaucrat decided to disrupt our plans for our free match-day (Dave and I

had planned to go to a flower show) by relegating a University team from the U16

competition, that had similar composition to ours in terms of players’ ages (I tried to sell the

coaches of the Nelson U16 team who now had a bye instead of us, two tickets to the flower

show and promptly received a size thirteen boot up my rectum for my troubles but I digest).

For the first time this season Big Jake, Tall Isaac, Colossal Vincent (Editor’s Note: he wasn’t

even there due to illness), and, Gargantuan Seth) had to face up to players who outclassed

us in terms of both stature and physical structure. If size rather than age was a disqualifier

University had a player who would have been barred from participating in adult matches.

They certainly used their physical advantage to good effect and in a clever manner. Some of

it may have been border-line but as far as I could tell they generally kept to the right side of

what is legal so no complaints from us. They also had a tad more soccer nous than us and at

times played some great stuff. Sure we had our moments as time and again in the early part

of the game Isaac was outpacing their defenders and getting in on goal but by half time

they had adjusted and moved a couple of their faster players back to counter Isaac’s threat.

Sure he still had chances but was always under pressure and could only manage one goal

with a fine run and shot after Josh had set him up having won a fifty-fifty tackle in the box

against one of their bigger players with the type of intent we would have liked not only him

but most of his team mates to have demonstrated more often in the match. By that time

University had scored four and although we had held them to 0-1 at half-time our collective

heads sunk after we had conceded a second early in the second half. This University team

were certainly no “phantoms” and to be honest I’ll take a loss every time in a match in which

we learn something (which we certainly did) over a bye in which we learn nothing and are

forced to resort to attending flower shows. Despite the lesson we were handed on the day I

don’t think the gap between us and them is insurmountable and had we managed to score

from one of our early chances who knows what might have happened. We’ll regroup and

we’ll be ready for the return fixture later in the season. In the meantime we look forward to

the visit of Nelson (U14) this Saturday at the Valley. We are improving – our trend despite the

hiccough, is steadily upwards. Can’t wait for Saturday.

Match Reports

U6 Green

It was back to back victories for the U6s as they triumphed 5-1 over a determined

Kingborough team. Some early pressure from Cygnet resulted in a Kingborough own goal,

which was soon followed up by a surging run down the wing by Euan Asher and a second

goal in the net. Kingborough fought back valiantly and some solid team play resulted in a

goal for the away side. Cygnet rallied after the goal, and solid defensive work from Riley

Direen and growing confidence from Jango Beecroft kept the scoreline to 2-1 at half time.

Fuelled by orange segment goodness, Cygnet kicked off the second half. Euan Asher added

to his growing goal tally with an audacious lob over three players straight into into the back of

the net. Goal of the season? His over-excited Dad certainly thought so. More tenacious

play by Jamie Alpine added a fourth goal and breathing space for Cygnet. A welcome

return to the team for Flynn Smith was capped by another great individual run and he

showed great determination as the opposition closed down the space to scramble a fifth

goal across the line.

Great team spirit from everyone and Cygnet will go into next week’s away game at Huonville

with growing confidence and many proud parents.

U7 Green

Great defence Abby – stopped a goal, Isaac also turned over the ball. Charlie great sliding

kick. Wes kicked a goal in his first game. Will great skills to break through the pack. Whole

team played really well together.

Cygnet 5 def St Aloysius 3 (Archie 2, Charlie 1, Isaac 1, Wes 1)

U8 Green

Thanks to Dave, Chris and Eran for sorting out two teams for the U8s this week rather than 13

on one team of 7-on-the-field: meant everyone got more playing time and it was easier on

the grown-ups too! Kingborough were great sports, being happy to delay play for a few

minutes, waiting for the rest of our team to turn up. The first half saw the two teams very

evenly matched with no-one scoring at all, with Harry defending nicely in goals with his shiny

new gloves. Newest team member Hugo showed a dazzling display of footwork and skillfully

found a clear path for the ball through the pack. Several times Oli valiantly put his body on

the line for the sake of the team, and Rory impressed the crowd with a speccy left-footer.

Energy and focus waned a little in the second half, and although Benny scored a goal and

showed great perseverance trying for another one, several goals sneaked past our defense.

However, Rory showed excellent teamwork, calling to his players to pass the ball at

appropriate times, Billy cleared the ball from the opponents with a beautiful slide, and the

team made us proud, no matter what the score. Go the Greens!

U9 Green

With wet and blustery conditions and opponents unknown, our bunch of unbeaten in year’s

stars took on South Hobart Primary. This was a very even contest from start to finish, with the

only difference being a great run by Zac in which the goal keeper fumbled his shot and Zac

gleefully accepted to see us sneak the win 1-0.

It was great to see the twins Kate and Holly back and they were always in the middle

stopping the opposition forays. Sam stepped up after his first game experience and made a

number of great steals and runs. All round a great team effort and our defence was rock

solid. We just need to start re-focusing on the fast and accurate passing we finished last

season with and some more positioning to ensure we keep matching the strong opposition

this season. (Eds note: West Hobart who we defeated 5-3 recently demolished Waimea

Wyverns in our division 14-0 on the weekend which makes our first up win even better). Thanks

to Liam Howard for taking goals in the 2nd half to give us 1 sub.

Great job guys.

The Rambler (Dave)

U9 Green 5 def West Hobart 3 (Zac 4, Lauren 1)

U9 White

Well, what can one say…a lot actually.

The turnaround from last weeks ‘shellacking’ was impressive. The team bolted out of the gate

in the opening 10 minutes and knocked in 3 goals and at that point it looked like we were

about to inflict a painful drubbing to the opposition.

The big difference was the intensity and tempo that was displayed – especially in defence,

with our players putting on a lot of pressure whenever a Strike player had the ball. It was great

to see our ‘new chums’ – Aimee, Noah and Ozi being able to thwart the opposition’s attack

with a judicious kick or three when it was needed.

In the last part of the 1st half the Strike managed to serve up some of our ‘own medicine’

which resulted in a half time score of 3-2.

A tense 2nd half almost saw us pull away on two occasions with one shot being struck at close

range that hit the hand of one of our players and another deft shot that shaved the

woodwork.

To the Strikes credit they continued the momentum and leveled the scores and a draw was a

fair result to both teams. It was heartening to see the team get ‘back off the canvas’ after

last weekends result.

Well done kids.

U10 Green

This week, our coaching team decided that we would place the players in positions without

consulting them too much so we had a game plan for both halves, didn't all go quite

according to plan, but we aim to continue in that manner so that everyone gets to play in a

variety of positions whilst we still know that we are putting forward a strong team. This match

had an added incentive as one of the opposition players played for our team last year and it

was a matter of honour for our team to win on home turf. We had three subs this week so

everyone was told to go hard and then they could come off for a break when they needed

it.

The first half of the game was exceptional. Every player knew their position and stuck to it.

Every player gave 100% effort and we saw a great deal of skill and teamwork. It paid off. The

ball spent most of the time in our half so the defence line, headed by Ned and supported by

Elliot and Oscar, who really had the art of scissoring down pat, didn't get too much action.

Although Codi was keenly aware of what was going on in the match the ball didn't get as far

as him too often. We went into half time 1 up. Goal to Cobi, with plenty of forward support

from Denzel, Riley and Liam.

At half time we talked to the team about playing a more attacking mid field. Denzel took on

the role of goalie and we mixed the rest of the field up a bit. Leyroy played an exceptional

game, changing positions many times without breaking his stride and showing how

adaptable he is. Demi and Rory did a great job in defence and really helped to keep the ball

in the scoring half. Sascha again showed lots of potential with a really determined attack on

the ball whenever it came close to him. But after such great teamwork, accurate passing

and communication in the first half, the second half turned into more of a free for all with

structured positioning all but gone. It didn't matter though as our technical skills and general

fitness was much better than St Aloysius, with Cobi scoring two more goals in the second half

giving us the first win for the season. 3 to nil. The Seadragon anthem was sung proudly - and

LOUDLY. Well done team.

U11 Green

From Game 1

A damp start to the season and we paid the price for some poor positional play in the first

half and found ourselves 2 goals down. After conceding the early goals, we kept going and

Kai managed to pull one back, but it was to be a day of missed opportunities for the U11’s on

a wet slippery surface. After losing another goal we trailed 3 - 1 at half time in the rain at

Kingston.

In the second half we picked up our game and gave a better account of ourselves, which

was encouraging to see players (I’ve not coached before) trying to turn the game, but it

wasn’t to be and although Kingsborough Greens scored their fourth we were still going

forward trying to pull one back. Our defence did well for the remainder of the match and as

a team we locked out the game, but we really paid for the missed chances in front of goal.

Full Time: Kingsborough Greens 4 - 1 Cygnet Sea Dragons (Kai 1)

U12 Girl All Stars

Had a bye

Cygnet Sea-Dragon Victory Song

Chorus:

Green is the Colour

Football is the Game

We’re all together

And winning is our aim

So cheer us on

Through the sun and the rain

For Cygnet, Cygnet is our name

Verse 1:

Here by the Huon whether rain or fine

We can shine

All the time

Home or away

Come and see us play

You’re welcome any day.

Repeat Chorus

To Finish:

What do we eat?

Seaweed

How do we eat it?

Raw
