COACHES CORNER 2012

The coaches corner page will be used an informal forum to assist our coaches. Throughout the year we will be running a number of informal coach education workshops. Notes for these workshops will be uploaded here, plus any other useful tools we come across.

If you are interested in attending a New Zealand Football (NZF) coach education course please click here to see scheduled dates and a brief outline of the coach education courses we will be delivering this year.

Warm Up / Cool Down / Stretching

Warming up correctly and injury prevention go hand-in-hand, which makes it important that as a coach you have a good basic understanding of the correct principles.

The 11+ programme is a warm-up/injury prevention programme developed by FIFA. I recommend that every coach has a look at this and implements these into their warm-ups / cool downs.
