Coaching Philosophy at The Other Foot Soccer School

The primary focus of all OTHER FOOT sessions is to improve the skill level of the participants “other” foot. (Sounds simple and it IS!).

The skills programme is specifically designed so that each player’s “other” foot, will have as much contact with the ball as possible, as they work through a series of games and activities in a fun, yet challenging environment.

All the activities have been specially devised to allow participants, through practise, the opportunity to become measurably more confident and comfortable when using their “other” foot.

The ultimate goal, of this carefully designed programme, is for participants to display mastery of the ball instinctively using their “other” foot thus enabling them to maximise their potential and become more versatile and complete players.

THE OTHER FOOT...

• Has a maximum of sixteen participants per class.

• Has a ratio of one coach to eight participants.

• Ensures classes are well planned and stimulating.

• Ensures classes are presented by qualified coaches.

• Fosters respect and friendship amongst players.

• Ensures players have fun and enjoy themselves.

"The primary school squads at Inverness Caley Thistle have shown significant improvement through participating in Other Foot sessions.  The attractive variety of activities involved in the sessions are fun based and are of great benefit in improving the young players confidence in using their weaker foot."
