BFCN Club Curriculum
A 120 page PDF that includes a curriculum and methodology for an entire club. The BFCN Club Curriculum covers fun games for young players, 5v5, 7v7, 9v9, 11v11, goalkeeping, and futsal. Each one has several topics, and within those topics you will find; suggested exercises, full session plans, learning objectives, questions to check for learning, coaching points, diagrams, and accompanying topic related objectives to use on game day to link the learning from training into matches.
The methodology and playing philosophy is consistent all the way through, making use of rondos, possession games, and small sided games. Every exercise is fun, dynamic, realistic, relevant, and opposed. It is fun for all players, which maximises engagement and learning. The formation and playing style at each stage builds into the next, providing consistency and alignment, which gives an excellent framework for players to build their knowledge base and develop as players.
This curriculum works for coaches of all levels. The exercises and sessions are suggestions, which are easily adaptable. Yet the methodology provides synergy within the entire club, assuring that all coaches are singing from the same hymn sheet, and pulling in the same directions. Not all coaches have plenty of time to plan, which means that a PDF stored somewhere convenient can provide quick and easy guidance and ideas, saving much time and energy.
Easy to read, easy to understand, comprehensive, while leaving room for interpretation. Make this club curriculum yours today
BFCN Scenarios Inflictions Rules
Use these cards to add extra layers to your games and practices. If you're looking for more challenges or to increase the stakes of your exercises and matches, this PDF is full of great ideas.
Scenarios paint pictures for games, like cup finals, or being two goals down.
Inflictions are ways to inhibit a player or a team, which can be used as a punishment or incentive, challenging players in different ways, forcing them to adapt.
Rules are conditions placed upon the game, which can encourage or deter certain types of behaviour, rewarding and incentivising what you want to see.
BFCN Tournament Builder
A PDF with tactical instructions for teams at 5v5 to 11v11. The tournament builder allows coaches and players to use their imagination, and pretend to be professional teams from around the world! There are also pages dedicated to round-robin formats and blank league tables. If you want to turn your session into a fun, competitive, educational experience for the players, divide them into teams, assign them a club, and then have them play like the teams!
Each team has clear, easy to understand graphics that have the playing instructions included, facilitating the development of your players by allowing responsibility to be delegated directly to the players themselves! Coach intervention is minimal, and players can take full ownership of their learning.
