Club Development

At AJSC we have a focus on both player and coach development with a view to grow our beautiful game alongside our associations FSW (Football South West), we are always looking at what opportunities we can provide to further develop better all round footballers. Below are the current and planned courses/training we are aiming to run this year.

Coach Training:

We have offered and successfully run the Foundations of Football coaching course to numerous coaches in our club over the last 2 years with approximately 25 coaches having taken part. This is great way to start your coaching journey with everyone who has taken part giving positive feedback about how Garry Church has run these training sessions for us and what they have learned.

This is the first step though and we would love to have some of our coaches who are looking to coach their team and or child throughout there childhood or who are looking to develop themselves as a better coach complete the C license course and maybe look at becoming part of the club either on the technical committee or part of the senior side of the club.

AJSC has now approved a renumeration incentive package for all coaches who wish to complete C license training, please contact the technical committee below to express interest or find out more about this course. With changes to the courses the Foundations Course is now considered day 1 of the C license with requirement for only another 4 days to complete this training.

Coaching Platform:

This year we have continued our partnership with The Coaching Manual to provide a platform for coaches to view/plan or download training sessions along with assisting them in understanding how to coach in line with the current best practices around the world. If coaches need assistance with using this platform please contact the technical committee.

Goalkeeper Training:

We are continuing our specialist goalkeeping sessions with 1951 Goalkeeping Academy again this year. These sessions are focused on developing our goalkeepers skills. The response from both our players and coaches about the development of our young keepers has been exceptional. Age groups will be as per last year.

U10/11/U12G - 9am to 10am - 1hr

U12/13/U14G - 10:15 to 11:45 - 1.5hrs

U15/U17/U17G - 12:30 to 2:30 - 2hrs

Dates - 17th May, 31st May, 14th June, 28th June

Referee Training:

As always we cant play our game without referees, last year we started mentoring/training some of our junior players to become referees. This year we will be working with FSW (Mick Hankin) and our own senior referee & technical committee member Carl Wilson alongside to further develop and train our young players to become more confident while earn some money for their time and effort. If you have a child who is interested please contact the referees coordinator at the club, the technical committee or one of the committee members who will be able to assist you.

Future Development Plans:

There are a couple of things being discussed this year with the first being amalgamation with the seniors to be one club and the second is to look at the role of a part time technical director to shape the club moving forward.
