World Cup 2010: World-class coaching for all
Posted on 09. Jul, 2007 by Jonathan Cherry in Design
Local sports bodies, both soccer and rugby, could possibly make some real progress in developing youth talent for the future of the game with this simple idea.
Instead of entertaining us with their management skills, perhaps issuing cards to South African kids, displaying simple coaching drills, could be a positive start.
CoachDeck cards were created to assist the millions of hard-working
youth sports volunteers and parents who would like to help players
learn important skills and fundamentals though fun drills and games.Designed by professional coaches, the drills in
CoachDeck can be performed by players from 6-16 and are laid out in a
fast, easy-to-understand format that allows you to conduct an extremely
effective clinic with little or no preparation. The nearly infinite number of drill
combinations you can create means kids will never get tired of the "same old practice".
Inside each deck you will find 52 color-coded drills. Nearly every drill contains a unique, "Make it a Game" feature that will ensure your players want
practice to go on forever. Each Deck also contains two double-sided instructional cards on Safety, Terminology, Practice and How to Use CoackDeck.
Instead of fighting over race, money and politics (SAFU and SAFA) – maybe a simple tool like this could go along way to sparking sporting interest in kids and giving them the skills to take their passion somewhere.
