A Coaches View

“Parents need to look at what these coaches do, how much effort they put into helping other peoples children. Without them we would not have a game, so don’t be quick to judge them.

As a parent, once you are confident that your child is in a safe learning environment, one of the most important things you can do as a parent of a young player is to let them go and let their sports experience belong to them”.

- John O’Sullivan from Changing The Game Project

Pleasure to meet the majority of our Chelsea FC Australia Future First U15s and U17s squads this evening.

Discussion around the “Chelsea Way” - the way we play, our standards and expectations of each other as a group working together, playing positions specific roles and responsibilities as well as life skills lived through our “golden rules”

Looking forward to getting to know the group working together with coaches to deliver. A “jewel in the crown” program for the club and community.

A great evening with Paige Harbord and Daniel Beckman from Lifestrong Physiotherapy & Health Services at Chelsea FC Australia.

Presentation and discussion on “Concussion Awareness” to our coaches and parents in attendance, recognising symptoms, their impact on recovery, and understand the “return to play safely” guidelines - vital information for all.

Myth busting at its finest, medical treatment and science has moved on.

Thanks to all those in attendance and to both Paige and Daniel for the time.
