Peace Lovers Junior Football Development Model

Peace Lovers FC is excited about delivering a Junior Football Philosophy, a Development Model and Training Program to their members and community. Peace Lovers FC wants coaches and players to focus on enjoyment, enthusiasm, confidence, positive self-esteem, good teamwork and spirit, and to develop a love of football. Let's move away from an over relience on specific tactical instructions or commands and into an envirinment where the players are encouraged to come up with solutions. We want skilful, confident and creative players capable of playing with great composure under pressure, not platers who are frightened of making mistakes, who won't try unconventional things or who lack the confidence to test themselves and take on an opponent.

Junior football should not be solely about winning but about development. However, by emphasising development rather than the importance of winning we may well find we have the players and teams more likely to do just that. We should be interested in players "expanding their game" not narrowing" it through restrictive over-instruction by coaches.

The Peace Lovers Junior Development Model follows on from the Peace lovers Junior Football Philosophy and is designed to guide junior players through the differing physical and mental demands of the various age groups.
