FFV supports new coaches within clubs
FFV has launched a new program to create a support network for new and inexperienced coaches. Coaches will be supported by their Club Coach Coordinators who in turn will have support from an FFV Mentor.
"The idea behind the program is to support coach development from within the club environment rather than solely through courses. This in turn should improve player development and enjoyment," Coach Education Manager, Craig Moore said.
"We'd like the players to have lots of touches on the ball, no standing around and most of all have FUN". Nearly 400 coaches and 55 clubs are participating.
Interested clubs should visit the CCC Facebook page. |

Tips on musculoskeletal screening
Musculoskeletal screening involves gathering information about each individual’s injury history and conducting a series of sport specific examinations to determine any deficits in muscle strength, stability, control and length as well as joint structure, stability alignment and function that may contribute to an increased risk of injury.
So when should athletes be screened?
Ideally at the earliest opportunity, such as prior to joining a high level squad or team. Initially a full screening should be performed to allow the physio to gain an in-depth understanding of the athletes musculoskeletal profile and therefore develop an appropriate training and exercise plan.
