AFCN TFC Jess Ibrom - Wellington Phoenix Youth Academy

This document provides a comparison between a Phoenix academy youth player and a Premier League academy youth player. It shows that the Chelsea academy player has significantly more contact time, training hours, and games per week compared to the Phoenix academy player. The Phoenix academy aims to close this gap through strategies like increasing training hours, exposing players to higher levels of competition, and recruiting international players to train with their academy.

What is the Phoenix Academy doing to catch up? WPFA Philosophy ‘ As well as increased repetition of training hours, Periodisation is used at the Phoenix academy. This is based around long-term individual player development. The focus is to develop players that are both technically proficient and tactically astute who are able to play in multi-positions in a variety of systems ’ Description+of+session:+3+v+2+Transition++ Represents(player(running(without(the(ball( Represents(player(passing/throwing(the(ball( Session Content: - Ball from goalkeeper to outside player. - Player who’s inside the field must either go on a overlap or on a diagonal and create a 2v1. - Once the shot is taken the keeper from defending team distributes the ball to outside players on his team, therefore the defending now becomes the attacking team. - In order to progress with play one of the attackers mus perform either an overlap or diagonal run. - The 2 players who were previously attacking move off the field once they finish on goal while at the same time one new player transitions in to defend. - If players score they turn around and attack opposite goal whlie two new defenders come in. Coaching points - Defending - Angle of approach - Intensity - Pressure - Cover - Attacking - Throwing (GK) - Attacking - Passing - Receiving - Shooting - Crossing - Finnishing - Timing of runs - Ability to identify space with and without the ball Relating the sessions to the modern game.
Environment is everything ‘ You can have all the facilities in the world but without a philosophy, it doesn’t matter. You can have the best pitches in the world. You can have medical centres and sports science but if you don’t have a philosophy and an identity, then it doesn’t matter ’
