Coaching programmes at the Liverpool Football Club Soccer School at Buccament Bay Resort
The content of the coaching sessions is designed for the age group taking part. The final part of each session is practice games.
The maximum number of children in a session is 15. Times for each session will be given to you when you arrive at the resort.
Refreshments are provided during and after each session.
5 to 7 years
Each session starts with fun games to warm up muscles and allow the children to get to know one another and the coach. This is followed by games and drills working on the key techniques of the game:
| • |
|
Footwork, touch work, using both feet and the inside, outside and sole of the boot, passing and control |
|
|
| • |
|
Running with the ball and dribbling |
|
|
| • |
|
Basic turns with the ball |
|
|
| • |
|
Shooting and attacking |
|
In addition the principles of teamwork for defence and attack, positional play and communication are introduced at a very basic level e.g. close player down, side-on, make play predictable, eye on ball, etc.
The level of skills coached depends on the ability of the children. Some of the following may be introduced:
| • |
|
Short, medium and long range passing |
|
|
| • |
|
Ball control practice will include aerial control e.g. thigh, instep and chest |
|
|
| • |
|
More advanced turning techniques e.g. Cruyff and stop turns |
|
|
| • |
|
More advanced dribbling techniques e.g. step over, body fake etc. |
|
8 to 11 years and 12 to 14 years
Each session starts with stretching and warm up exercises. This is followed by games and drills working on the key techniques of the game as for the 5 to 7 year olds but at a higher level. Other key principles are developed if ability levels allow. For example, 2 v 2 defending which introduces the need for cover and balance by the covering defender and more advanced shooting techniques such as volleying.
