Forest Crusaders recognise what an important part sports can play in the holistic development of its players. Our coaching methods adopt the FA’s corner teaching model. We look at developing the whole person/player taking into account the technical development, the tactical development alongside the psychological and social development. We support the England DNA module consisting of how we coach and how we support the future player. People and players develop at different stages. Our coaching recognises these and adjusts the challenges to the players needs. We understand how a positive influence from the coach can support the players development in sport and beyond.
We aim to create a fun and engaging environment where each individual is empowered, feeling free to express themselves and experiment with creativity. We use a constraints led approach with our games. This assists the players learning experience and prepares them for the scenarios sport will bring.
