Caithness Football Coaching Academy

A standard hectic summer holidays for our club ☀️

So busy that I kept forgetting to post our players of the week 😅

The attendance, effort and standard was consistently high throughout our all our sessions 👏
Our coaches passing more knowledge and information onto the kids, always demanding our standards remain at the highest level ⚽️

With the schools (and normality) back, we have now moved onto our next exciting phase and training 3 times each week with our main academy.
Our pre-school and P1 sessions will start next week with the full programme then in progress to build the base skills and habits for the next generation of footballers ⚽️

We also had the winners of our in-house World Cup Predictor who won a World Cup ball for their accurate predictions ⚽️⭐️

Not our usual post but something very close to us all

Both of Ellie’s brothers have previously been coaches with our club and 3 of Ellie’s nephews have come through our age groups and moved onto Caithness United.

We will be supporting this as a club and hopefully everyone can get behind this too

An amazing gesture and event for such a worthy cause

💛🖤💙

⭐️ Update to our weekly schedule ⭐️

As a club we are always looking to improve what we offer to our kids on a weekly basis.

We have added in a 3rd weekly session for our main academy kids.
The focus for us as a club will always be developing the kids through training and drills, as opposed to matches and festivals.
We feel this is the optimal approach for continual improvement and to create positive habits at the start of their football journey to set the foundation for their footballing career to progress to any level they want.

Our 2019 group has been training to a consistent high level, adding more positive habits to their games on a weekly basis.
Jonny and Lewie have improved lots in their ball mastery, skill moves and passing details 👏

Robbie has been working hard on his confidence and ex*****on in using his ‘weaker’ side for his skill moves, and improving this is really helping his attacking game 👏

Lewis has mad big improvements with his passing details, with things we’ve been asking him to work on during each session.
His improvements with his ball striking technique and his passing speed has been impressive to see 👏

Callum is developing into a very good GK 🧤
Very brave, commands his area and his positioning has shone through this week 👏

Well done to all the boys the last 2 week ⚽️

⭐️ Players of the Week ⭐️

💫 2019 - Mikey
💫 2018 - Jackson

Well done to these 2 boys this week 👏

A slight change to our format last week with us playing an interval tournament to celebrate the start of the World Cup ⚽️

Mikey competed really well in the games with all the age groups playing together, but also showed real quality on the ball when he had it 👏

Jackson set the standards and tempo for both his teams (mixed games and in his own age group). Also displayed how great a team-mate he is by involving and encouraging the younger kids 👏
