In 2021, TTFC implemented
a grading system establishing a Performance based strand where players trial to
make teams from U9 to U16. These teams train twice a week with a suitably
accredited coach and working under experienced Football Operations Manager, Len
Catalano.
The second
strand is what we call our Development based teams. They train once a week and
are a mixture of players who play for the love of the game. They enjoy kicking a ball around with their
mates in a safe and nurturing environment . We also recognize that there are
players in the development teams who want more from their playing experience.
With this in
mind, we are excited to announce our Skills Development Training Program based on
skills acquisition . These development sessions are open to TTFC players and
players from outside the club and are targeted towards our Development based
teams U6 to U11.
Whilst training and games allow for broader
technical and tactical progression, the development sessions will deliver a
structured learning program to allow players to focus on the 4 building blocks
of the game
- Running with the ball
- Striking the ball
- 1 v 1 both attacking and
- Defending and Ball Control along with technical
correction.
The sessions
will be run by our Senior Head Coach, Kevin Meacock who is long established as
an exceptional junior development coach as well as successful senior coach.
This is an inclusive and not an exclusive
development program, so players of any ability are welcome to register when the next block opens.
