Welcome to Buccament Bay Resort
Liverpool Football Club Soccer School
Coaching programmes

The content of the coaching sessions is designed for the age group taking part and, most importantly, to have fun! The final part of each session will be practice games.

The maximum number of children in a session will be 15. Times for each session will be given when you arrive at the resort.

Refreshments will be provided during and after each session.
  5 to 9 years

Each session will start with fun games to warm up muscles and allow the children to get to know one another and the coach. This will be followed by games and drills working on the key techniques of the game:

  Footwork, touch work, using both feet and the inside, outside and sole of the boot Passing and control  
  Running with the ball and dribbling  
  Basic turns with the ball  
  Shooting and attacking  

In addition the principles of teamwork for defence and attack, positional play and communication will be introduced at a very basic level e.g. close player down, side-on, make play predictable, eye on ball, etc.

The level of skills coached will depend on the ability of the children. Some of the following may be introduced:

  Short, medium and long range passing  
  Ball control practice will include aerial control e.g. thigh, instep and chest  
  More advanced turning techniques e.g. Cruyff and stop turns  
  More advanced dribbling techniques e.g. step over, body fake etc.  


10 to 15 years and 16 to 18 years

Each session will start with stretching and warm up exercises. This will be followed by games and drills working on the key techniques of the game as for the 5 to 7 year olds but at a higher level. Other key principles are developed if ability levels allow. For example, 2 v 2 defending which introduces the need for cover and balance by the covering defender and more advanced shooting techniques such as volleying.
