This week was the final week of the term and so we decided we would spent a majority of the time doing a match based session, with coaching throughout. This involved 10 minutes of ball manipulation as usual followed by going straight into games.
The best part of this week was that the parent who had previously complained about the coaching paid special compliments to how it had ran this week, with another parent particularly pleased at how involved their son was getting when working with Gavin. It is certainly much nicer to hear positive feedback, which is no doubt harder to get hold of!
After the session, Chris and I had a chat about what we would like to do moving forward. Plans were made to find a new coach for the younger group, as well as that we would start to go outside onto the grass within the next couple months. This both to increase the amount of space available and to save the club money on facility hire. It was also agreed that we would look to find a more appropriate way of taking payments, as the current manual method is both fiddly and time consuming.
