'The Future Game' - 8 a side at U12/13's
Category: Coaches Education on 27 May 2010

If you can't get the ball out of your own half, the quickest, easiest taught solution is not to coach the kids to knock it about like Barcelona and bamboozle the opposition - because that would take years and a far superior pool of talent than is going to be available to a typical under 11 coach - it is to get your two biggest kids, stick them at the back and tell them to lump it forward.

   This is how we have produced generation after generation of clumsy defenders, the type our opponents want to have the ball because they know possession will soon be conceded.

“The great fallacy is that the game is first and foremost about winning"
Category: Coaches Education on 17 May 2010

“The great fallacy is that the game is first and foremost about winning. It’s nothing of the kind. The game is about glory. It’s about doing things in style, with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom”

-Danny Blanchflower’s immortal sermon from 1972

China to send 500 teenagers to Europe for training over 5 years
Category: Coaches Education on 17 May 2010
By Liu Zhen and Nick Mulvenney

BEIJING, April 21 (Reuters) - China will send up to 500 teenagers to train at top European clubs over the next five years, according to the Chinese Football Association (CFA).

The plan by China’s new football chief Wei Di is aimed at developing the country’s most talented players between the ages of 15 and 17, who are expected to spend two or three years at various European clubs in small groups of five or six.

“We are working on the details of the project. There will be 80-100 players dispatched to Europe each and every year from this year on,” CFA spokesman Dong Hua told Reuters by telephone.

Chinese media said Spain ’s La Liga would be the major destination as Wei believes there is a similarity in body size and strength between Chinese and Spanish footballers.

“We have been in good cooperation with many European FAs and clubs,” said Dong. “We want our young players with the best potential to train in the Spanish, English, German, Italian and Dutch leagues, which have the highest standards of youth development.”

This will be the latest attempt by China to produce elite footballers through training overseas, following the first squad sent to Hungary in the 1950s and more recent groups who spent long periods in Brazil and Germany .
