Got a text from manager last night that training resumes next week, seems too soon and don’t think I’ll be taking my lad, wondered what people’s thoughts are or anyone doing similar? |  | | |  |

We had a zoom meeting the other night and someone mentioned throw ins that I'd not even thought of as an issue before.
It's not workable currently. |
No matches, so no throw ins. Quite easy to put on a session without throw ins. |  | | |

I dont see throw ins as a particular issue. If the ball touches people heads, faces, hands, torso even- it has every chance of picking up infecftion if it is present.
Coaches handles balls all the time. Headers... Chest control.
Either we take the view that its broadly okay and get on with it or not, imo. |  |

For our U-11's it served a purpose in that it got them in the outdoors, seeing their team mates again, and they had a football session. They absolutely loved it.
3 groups, each with a coach. 1 - shooting drill (no 2 players even close) 2 - fitness (3 x 400m laps of track, set off at 50 metre intervals) 3 - strength and conditioning (at least 2 metres apart)
No 'match' at the end, so zero contact.
Dorset FA guidelines are clear, and if followed, they are happy for this initial type of training.
2 metre distancing. No touching the football with hands. Every child has a parent there, parents social distancing. Masks available for first aider in case of a serious knock.
We are fortunate with the venue. Huge open space, no gates to touch to get in or out, ample parking.
Finally, it's down to the parents/kids whether they come along, no pressure. 11 of the 12 were there. [Post edited 11 Jun 2020 10:33]

Do you usually break for the summer? In a normal year, our season is finished now... | |

Yes, we do break, but only for 2/3 weeks and that would be August. Currently, we would have 4 or 5 summer tournaments to compete in, and light training carries on, for those who want it.
We take the view that the kids, we run an U-11's and a U-8's, would be out and having a kick about anyway, so we continue to put on sessions for them. Goes down well. | | | |

It was Artboss who raised the point on throw ins.
The drills were set up to avoid the ball being handled at all. No need for chest control, headers, or anything other than light fitness work (no ball) or a sensible shooting drill, where the ball is stationary then the player hits a free kick, or moves to the side of a cone and shoots etc.
All low key and designed to simply get the lads out and smiling. It's definitely not a full on session as we'd normally have. | | | |

We'd usually do a couple of tournaments- but they are all cancelled anyway. | |

Using keepers? Or are the goalies just doing footwork.
My daughter is a keeper so not sure what the plan is when they reconvene other than it’s a group of five girls with one coach and no contact. |  |

The keeper was the only lad who couldn't make it. We had a coaches son (aged 15) standing in goal, only using feet/legs.
From what I gather, a keeper can face shots if he/she wears keeper gloves. | | | |

No trouble.
It's obviously not a 'normal' session, but I have to say, the lads all loved it. | | | |

Which makes little sense.
Wearing gloves doesnt protect you- unless you wash or remove them before touching your face- which is exactly the same as bare hands... | |

We trained tonight everyone loved it and followed the guidelines.
No touching of equipment.
Balls to be kicked only.
Lots of things you can work on, including fitness, ball control, technical skills etc etc.
1 coach per 5 kids.
Goalkeeper can handle ball with gloves, strict instructions not to touch face.
All players had to bring hand sanitizer to use before starting and at finish.
Parents stayed in car until training started.
We had risk assessment and insurance in place together with approval of local F. A
To me very little risk, and lots to be gained socially and physically. |  | | |

The team I coach have all said they wish to train albeit it will be mostly fitness and passing sessions in groups of 4. I have 12 players currently so works well and we should start next week hopefully.
We have missed 2 months of football plus all the summer tournaments and social events so this is more for the social and mental health side. |  |

One club local have banned goals and said the ball must stay on the floor at all times.
Easy to do fitness and passing sessions in 3 groups of 4. | |
