The purpose of the Junior football coaching manual
This manual provides teachers and coaches with relevant
informaƟ on on how to coach football so that children get the
maximum benefi ts from playing the sport – geƫ ng physically
acƟ ve, healthy and fi t.
The focus of the manual is on developing
the basic skills needed for juniors (up to the age of 12) to
become competent football players.
The main focus is on
providing exercises and drills to help you plan your pracƟ ce and
develop skills, rather than to give a comprehensive framework of
the rules and tacƟ cs of the game.
Professor Tim Noakes of the Sports Science InsƟ tute of South
Africa has a dream to make South African children the fiƩ est in
the world by 2020.
He believes that through iniƟ aƟ ves like the
Vitality Schools Programme we can reach this goal. You too can
play a part in making this vision a reality!
Teach children the beauƟ ful game of football
The aim of the game is to score more goals than the opposing
team.
There are generally two phases of play:
aƩ ack and
defence.
During aƩ ack, the team that has the ball must move it
upfi eld towards the opponents’ goal and score.
Defence happens
when the other team has the ball and the defending team must
try to get the ball away from them and stop them from scoring.
Players use skills such as passing, shooƟ ng, dribbling, trapping
and tackling.
