Training
Each team shall define its own day and length of training it’s important to consider the age and
ability of players when deciding team training length and time to ensure that training is
appropriate to the players taking part. Children are liable for overuse injuries particularly when
training and playing in matches happen over the same weekend and so when planning training
consideration of this should also be included.
Training is to be always conducted by a qualified football
coach (minimum level 1).
Training sessions should be planned and based upon the FA
‘four corners’ model. (Technical, Psychological, Physical and
Social). To retain player interest, training should be fun and
entertaining whilst being challenging and aimed to develop
player confidence, knowledge and skill.
Each training session should include a warm up and down sessions as well as the structured
training itself.
Not only is it a Chartership requirement, but it is also good practice to maintain a register of
players attending training. This can serve a number of purposes:
●
●
●
Record of players attending training.
Record of session themes for future planning purposes.
Record of reasons of player non-attendance i.e. illness, holiday etc.
RCJFC have established a basic training register which each team may use.
