The Future Game - FA Coaches Association Conference

I'm going to the above next week at Wembley to see if it has any relevance to what we're trying to achieve at Wadhurst.
I'm sure something useful will come out of it. Although I usually see quite a disconnect between what the FA are trying to get us to do as coaches, particularly the Respect campaign, and what I see in the Premier League and from the national side.
Here's a link to the itinerary.
I'll compile a report and stick it here on the blog.

FA launch new coaching website

The FA have launched a new website, Your Game, as a support resource for club administrators, supporters and volunteers.
Looks like there's some good information on there and chances to win kit etc from sponsor McDonalds.
And a coaching drill from Eric Harrison.

How others do it

There's a very good youth football club blog hosted by Patcham United with some very interesting posts.
Some interesting notes on what to expect on the FA Youth Award modules can be accessed here.
They are written by Steve Phythian, who is the Sussex FA Football Development Officer.
There's another take on the Youth Award here from coach Dan Wright.
