It was free play – with no adults to interfere – and they played because they enjoyed it.  \nFor a host of reasons, street football has virtually disappeared. The challenge today for grassroots football deliverers is to recreate that environment of fun and freedom and deliver the learning foundation that street football used to provide.  \nWe believe that this fun and free approach to playing football will give thousands of young players’ enjoyable football experiences, and hopefully foster a love and passion for the game that will last a lifetime.  \nThis approach will help us produce more creative players who will have a life long connection with the game.  \nENJOYMENT IS THE THING, NOT WINNING!  \nWhen children are training or playing games against other teams they need a fun environment where they can play without pressure. The game result, for younger players, should be irrelevant.  \n‘WINNING’WAS THE LEAST IMPORTANT VALUE.  \nIf the emphasis is on winning matches or the competition, the development process is doomed to failure and the fun of junior play is replaced by the pressures and frustrations of adult football. Winning is a poor indicator of individual development as each player learns and matures at different rates. A study of youth sport values showed that the most important values were:  \n• enjoyment;  \n• personal achievement .  \nThe junior Program Leader must value, above all else, the individual development and welfare of every single player. Research has shown that the emphasis should be on the child experiencing fun and excitement. Children at this age are still sampling many sports and activities; ALDI MiniRoos Kick-Off Program Leaders can have an impact on which sport the child will choose.  \nLEADING FUN SESSIONS  \nPerhaps the first and most important step is to take the word‘coach’ out of your mind. Your role is summed up in the above title – see yourself as a leader of fun, safe and engaging practices.  \nIt is a mistake, made far too often, for children’s ‘coaches’ to imitate the coaches they see on television. In fairness, these are usually the only models there are to copy, but unfortunately, the job of a high-profile coach in a professional team bears no resemblance to the job of a kids’ coach. The Program Leader is more akin to a children’s entertainer than a master tactician.  \nAs soon as you think of yourself as a ‘leader’, or a ‘facilitator of learning’, you start to see the role in its true light.  \nYour job is to plan and organise safe, fun practices. And . . . let them play!  \nThis book will help you select practices that have a role in the longterm development of young players. The practice is the teacher, and the kids will learn from the experiences provided.  \nRemember that helping young players learn and watching them develop can give the same, if not greater, satisfaction as winning trophies and medals with senior players.  \nThere is a range of tools that all football Program Leaders require. At this level, the two main tools needed are personal skills and organisation skills.  \nPERSONAL SKILLS  \nBe enthusiastic  \nIf you look like you are having a good time, it will generally follow that the kids will have a good time. Try to show the children that there is no place you would rather be than on the field with them.  \nBe friendly  \nThe kids need to feel that you are on their side, as a friend as well as a mentor. Make sure you greet every player on arrival and say goodbye to every player when they leave, thanking them for their efforts in the session.  \n","cbCaid09E15aWNEF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaid09E15aWNEF","pdf",32034835,49,"English","# Contents\n## What is coaching kids all about?\n## What tools do I need?\n## How to use this manual\n## Group Management Tips\n## Beginning\n## Middle\n## End\n## Acknowledgements\n## References\n## State Football Contacts","[{\"question\":\"Why does the manual emphasize enjoyment over winning?\",\"answer\":\"It states that when players train in a fun, low-pressure environment, the development process succeeds.
