Football
Football Federation Australia has partnered with the Australian Sports Commission to provide children with an introductory Football program.
The Playing for Life - Football Manual features seven sequential, game-based lessons suitable for primary school-aged children of all abilities. It is based on Football Federation Australia’s 5-a-side football, where the focus is on enjoyment and participation. The lessons are designed to help people with minimal experience in football, to deliver fun, inclusive games in line with the Playing for Life philosophy.
The lessons promote a facilitated approach to coaching. The games can be replicated on a smaller scale, with the children in groups, setting up their game and managing it themselves. This provides the coach with the opportunity to observe and ensure that all players are having fun, while being actively involved in a safe environment and to provide discrete coaching where necessary.
