Remember this important thing!!
Hi coaches, last year I presented at the Radical Football Conference in Romania and this is a short but very important clip from my time on stage. I hope you remember this when coaching your young players. Pete

Hi coaches. I have just uploaded a document for your attention but I believe It was in "pages" format.
Here it is in pdf so I hope that works better for you.

A New Year - A New Beginning.
With the new format changes coming into play this coming year I have attached my hopes for how they might be received in the attached short "story".
You might say I live in an ivory tower and each day I put on my rose tinted glasses but if we don't give the children their game back I believe we will be the poorer for this.

Are you a Captain of Play?
There is a growing awareness of the importance of a child's first introduction to being physically active and playing sport. With this in mind our Play Phase prioritises a child friendly and age appropriate approach for our 4,5 and 6 year old children.
I have attached some information that may be useful for you to read and digest if you are currently supporting our youngest children or you are thinking about getting involved. There is so much enjoyment to be derived from working alongside our young children if we acknowledge where they might be developmentally and this will help us to provide the best possible experiences for them.
Enjoy.
Pete

Welcome to our Play Phase community, Daniel. It is a safe space to share ideas and to support those adults working alongside our youngest children. Here you can pose questions, talk about your experiences (good and bad) and ask for advice and guidance. We will then do our best to help and support you.

year round futsal for U10
Happy New Year Pete,
I coach a U10 7v7 team in Colorado Springs in the US. We are not at the highest level in the state, but compete well with the second tier. Futsal has not really caught on in our area, but is growing rapidly in Denver.
I was wondering what your thoughts, and the group's thoughts, are on the utility of implementing 1 day a week futsal training for 90 minutes in addition to our two weekly outdoor sessions and games. Our third session last season was a skills and finishing session, so that is what we would be giving up.

Erwin,
Thanks so much for your question and The Session Collective wish you a very happy New Year too. You ask a really good question and one where I may have to put my personal biases to one side (if this is ever truly possible). I am a huge advocate for Futsal as a game in its own right but also the role it can play as we try to add volume, variety and real value to the development programmes of our young players. The demands, in all corners of development for our young players in Futsal, mean that just by playing the game they are presented with very high challenges and because of this I would always try to expose young players to the game and its unique constraints.
In my humble opinion I believe a switch to Futsal as you describe would be a very positive step and many of the returns you might get from your skills and finishing session will be present in your Futsal sessions.
Let us know how you get on and if there are any other coaches out there who have added Futsal to their provision please comment and support Erwin as a valued member of our community.
Good luck.
Pete
