4. Our Coaching Philosophy

North AC place the well being and safety of each player above all else. The priority is to keep all individuals as safe as possible.

To always display high standards of behaviour and appearance.

To respect and champion the rights of each individual following the Respect code as outlined by the FA Respect campaign.

To build an appropriate relationship with the individual based on openness, honesty, mutual trust and respect.

To ensure that taking part, whether it be coaching or playing, is fun and to never let winning take over as the sole objective.

To allow players to develop their football in a fun and positive environment.

To allow players to make mistakes and to be given the opportunity to self-correct.

To involve the players in the decision making process.

Allow players to express themselves without criticism.

To be inclusive and fair in creating opportunities for players to have time on the pitch in the right environment that encourages development and enjoyment.

To listen to each of the players and treat their comments and suggestions with respect.

At North AC we will continue to improve our knowledge and to keep up-to-date with new methods of coaching in order that we can give our very best to the players.
