#FCFSKILLS W17

Skill Of The Week: PLAYER LED STYLE 😎

Our Pre Academy group showing off their own skills in last nights session 🔥

So important to create players who are free to express themselves and try new things..

Skills of the week are a staple in our sessions at FCF, usually copying a player or role modelling from a coach!

However we also understand next level skills means way more than doing what you’re told, or copying what you see - sometimes the most powerful message comes from collaboration with your peers or inspiring something new within yourself ✨

Top work from coach Ash 🔝

This is what teaching and learning looks like at FCF and we love it 🥺🥹

Great role modelling of a few Solo Space Invader Moves from our u11s 👾

There’s something powerful about teaching and learning this way..

As coaches we’re not scared to take a backseat

We encourage our players to take the lead 🔥

Developing next level skills is so much more than what happens with the ball at your feet 👣

Can’t wait to see where these boys go 💫

Coach Bert now accepting bookings 👀⏰

At FCF we understand the value of the messages that come from our players 🗣️

We think it’s crucial to engage players in lots of ways

One way we like to do this is by questioning and using the players to feedback responses

They might; say it, do it, or show it to the group, all at the level that suits them

What comes next? We work to level that up so that our players develop next level skills 🔥

Bert here putting it better than we could have 💫

ACTION SHOT 📸🎾

Why did we do this?

A lot of our players are at a stage now where they’re comfortable with the Futsal balls.

We’re all about stretching our players to gain NEXT LEVEL skills

So how can we take those skills to the next level?

One variation we’ve started to use is the tennis balls.

😰 Gets away easier with a heavy touch = focus on spacial awareness ✅
😰 More difficult to control going at speed = keep it closer / pick your moment to speed up ✅
😰 Higher level of concentration = more purposeful / intentional practice ✅

This was chaos, but also loads of fun 🤩

p.s. if you want to get a word in, getting them to hold onto these in the group discussions can work well … ask Ash 🤫

Here is what @ashbayliss97 has to say 🗣️

*Educational fun*
Incorporating fun games with a purpose will help them stay engaged and create a positive environment to learn in. The fun sessions are the ones that stick in the memory most!

*Touches, touches, touches!*
Repetition of ball mastery skills will help them get comfortable on the ball. The more time on the ball the better, small sided games are also great for encouraging this.

*Encourage creativity*
Leave plenty of room for them to make mistakes and try new skills/techniques on the their own accord.

*Physical/cognitive development*
Develop key motor skills like coordination, balance, and agility in the form of enjoyable games. This way they can practise them without even realising!

Spain didn’t just warm up - they rehearsed.

This passing pattern wasn’t random. It was practiced, refined, and executed when it mattered most.

This is deliberate practice in action. It’s not about training harder; it’s about training smarter.

Are you preparing for the moments that decide games?

A message for all parents of young sports people 👀👂

When it comes to developing technique there are a lot of approaches

Our approach would be..

🏡 Focus on consistent, enjoyable practice at home
🤝 Encourage playing small sided games (like Futsal) for more touches and decision making
❌ Avoid overloading with highly structured drills - let creativity flourish 🌱 🪴 🌳

Would you add anything 🤔 let us know!

JAN BTS 🤦‍♂️

As our first month of sessions comes to a close we wanted to start a tradition to “practice what we preach” …

LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES

This was one of our many attempts at the FCF Welcome video that we posted way back in December, if the Badminton players in the next court had a £1 for everytime they heard

“I’m Tom” or “I’m Ash”

They’d almost certainly be rich enough to afford their own court and probably private lessons to go with it 😅 (sorry guys)

Thanks to everyone for your support so far, hopefully we can all have a giggle and look forward to more of these in the coming months 🫡

5️⃣ Reasons Futsal Produces Better Footballers ⬇️

Academic studies and expert analysts highlight several reasons why futsal can be instrumental in developing superior football players:

1️⃣ Enhanced Decision-Making and Environemntal Awareness:

Research funded by UEFA indicates that futsal players are more adept at scanning their environment and making swift decisions. They tend to receive the ball with their heads up, frequently switching attention between the ball and their surroundings. This heightened awareness leads to more accurate and quicker passes, higher game intensity and faster decision-making when transitioning to football.

2️⃣ Incresed Engagement in Core Skills:

Data comparisons reveals that futsal players engage in core skills - such as receiving, passing and moving with the ball - more frequently than their football counterparts. For instance, during the 2022 Futsal Euro final, players received the ball an average of 105 times, significantly higher than the averages observed in traditional football matches. This repetitive practise in a high-pressure environment enhances technical proficiency.

3️⃣ Development of Technical and Tactical Abilities:

Studies have shown that futsal training can develop players’ multifunctional abilities. Individual skills like dribbling, passing and receiving the ball are characteristics of elite futsal players, which are transferable to football.

4️⃣ Positive Transfer to Football:

The Football Association (FA) notes that futsal’s constraints - such as limited space and constant pressure - challenge players to develop technical skills, quick thinking and creativity. These attributes are directly transferable to football, aiding in the development of well-rounded players.

5️⃣ In summary, the unique demands of futsal - emphasising quick decision-making, technical skills and constant engagement - create an environment that fosters the development of football players with superior technical and cognitive abilities.

🌟 What an unforgettable opening night for FCF! 🌟

We are truly overwhelmed by the love and support we’ve received—every message, every word of encouragement, and every smile on the court has made this journey so special ❤️

From setting up our first session to seeing our players light up on the pitch, this was more than just a launch; it was the start of something bigger than us. Watching you all enjoy yourselves, push your limits, and leave with smiles on your faces was everything we could’ve hoped for—and more.

To everyone who came out, sent us kind words, or joined the FCF family: thank you for believing in our dream. This is only the beginning, and we can’t wait to grow, learn, and create more incredible moments with all of you.

Here’s to the first steps of a journey we’ll never forget 💙🤍⚽

We had the Jaffas, skills and most importantly, smiles on faces 😁

We do it all again next Thursday 🤝

A week full of -° temperatures means many things:
❌ Grass pitches unplayable
⚠️ Other surfaces too dangerous
📉 Players performances & enjoyment decreases
🥶 Parents watching on…

Fortunately for our FCF players and families we’ll be in the sports hall getting a sweat on 🔥🥵

See you all tonight ⚽️

Things you’ll never hear at an FCF Session…

“Cold enough?”

Anyone else with a game cancelled over the weekend or a training session cancelled this week ⚽️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️

At FCF we are protected from the elements ❄️☔️ meaning our players never have to worry about missing out due to the beautiful British weather!

How much training has your little one missed out on this season already..? Join us and never miss a session again 🤝

ps. Less than 48 hours to go 🤩
