Is there an adult women’s Sunday league for football? Not overly competitive just typical Sunday league. I am new to town but have a group of women interested in forming a new team.
I have been asked by some friends to start training a small group of women who play for a recreational adult team. Some of them have played a little bit before but most this is their first or second season ever. The group is very athletic women they just apparently have much comfort with the ball and would like to develop.
I played at high levels myself (youth academy and some professional reserve teams across Europe over a decade ago as well as semi-professional) but I have never coached or trained anyone properly.
Are there suggestions on where to start with them? My plan is to go very basic with it and show them some of the fundamentals I would do as a kid. Dribbling back and forth with specific touch patterns, some group passing patterns, a few basic shooting drills. I really don’t know much about coaching theory but from my development what helped me the most was repetition to get highly comfortable on the ball.
Could anyone advise me on this?
