Topic | ‘An Insight into the Foundation Phase DNA (Players Aged 5 to 12)’

Shropshire is delighted to welcome Pete Sturgess, The FA National Foundation Phase Lead Coach, to the county for this eagerly anticipated CPD Event. Pete, will guide coaches through the key messages of the Foundation Phase DNA that he & his colleagues have developed to specifically support coaches working with young players.

Pete will lead an interactive evening beginning in the classroom before moving out onto the pitch to showcase some of the key messages in action and highlight some of the headline principles to working with players within the Foundation Phase age group (5 to 12):

 Rationale behind the what, why & how to work with young players
 Links to the FA 4-Corner Model
 The Impact of coaching behaviour
 Developing a positive learning environment 

There will be an opportunity for attending coaches to discuss / ask questions before & after the practical element, as well as receive details on accessing a FREE coaching resource available through HIVE (a digital coaching platform endorsed by The FA) where Pete has placed session plans, information & research to assist coaches volunteering / working in the game.
