Would you like to prepare a youth training with pleasure?

 

Read below how we can help you with this.

The vast majority of all youth trainers in the Netherlands are volunteers. They do this because their son or daughter plays football and has asked the club to provide training. That's great!

 

Are you such a trainer? Then you probably recognize the question that all other youth coaches also have: "What should I do today?" Rest assured, Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp, Carlo Ancelotti and all the others are asking that question too. The difference is that they put their assistants to work for this. We don't have that luxury.

 

SMALL LIBRARY

Youth trainers often have a small arsenal of exercises in their heads. We see that people quickly fall back on this with the occasional exercise that you saw on Facebook or with the first team. We can reassure you here too. No trainer has enough practice material in mind to optimally develop players, including us.

 

HOW MUCH TIME?

How much time can/will you invest in preparing? We asked ourselves that question at feeton about 11 years ago. After all, we are not paid football coaches. Most of us work elsewhere, grab a quick bite and rush to the training field. In short, preparing must be quick, good and fun.

 

WHY PREPARE?

But why should you actually prepare as a trainer, because not everyone always has the desire or time. That is simple to explain. Suppose your son or daughter only takes two subjects at school instead of the usual ten. What would that do to your son/daughter? So that. Reason enough to prepare for your training.

 

A PUSH ON THE BUTTON

So we made it fast, good and simple for you. Professional training at the touch of a button throughout the season. Grab your phone, press the feeton icon and you will see 4 workouts, so you can also look ahead.

 

Tap the top workout and you're done! A complete training with animations, technique videos, organization and coaching comments. Our experience shows that youth trainers who have done this 6 to 10 times know exactly what they are going to do within 5 minutes. Where are the cones, how many players, which exercise and what will I pay attention to/coach? No waiting players, lots of ball contacts and therefore a lot of pure training time.

 

RESULT

You, the club, the children and their parents now know that everything they need at that age will be covered this season. The "primary school" of football. Ultimately, this only serves one purpose, to enjoy football more and more and we wish them all that, right?!

 

Have fun training!
