Coaching Program

InterSoccer is introducing a great new Football Coaching Program & First Aid Courses to help with the coaching of our Spring Courses this year.

Football Coaching Program

Football changes fast & so do we at InterSoccer. That’s why we are introducing our Football Coaching Program flexible structure encouraging new skills & techniques each week.

It’s aimed for children aged 5 & over and will help children become better footballers of all levels & improve their motivation to learn & have a fun time.

Here is a basic overview of what the program consists of but remember that flexibility of this structure will allow us to adapt to the variety of players we have in each group.

It looks at specific skills such as a player’s technical ability on the ball, their passing, mental strength & match tactics. It’s a fun, rewarding & engaging activity for everyone involved, but it’s a very useful tool & guides for the coach, player & parent to reflect on the skills of a player & areas that could be worked on.

Our experienced international coaches – many of whom are multi-lingual – will of course be running the coaching sessions, putting the players through their paces in a challenging, fun & safe environment.

Treat this as a guide of our Football Coaching Program but it shows that at InterSoccer we take our coaching very seriously with the utmost professionalism & show you that step by step we are trying to make the players even better ones with plenty of fun along the way.
