Training Schedule

The over-riding factor in allocating training times is for teams to be grouped together with like teams. This enables:

  • social interaction between the teams within their group,
  • sharing of drills and resources,
  • coaches filling in for one another when needed,
  • communication between managers re: team changes etc.
  • the club’s Technical Director to visit like teams in the younger age groups at the same time.

Where possible older teams are asked to train at Prince Edward Park to spread wear and tear across both fields. This is particularity important in 2017 as we will have a newly turfed playing surface at Lakewood that will need to be nursed through the season.

Pre-season training will only be conducted at Prince Edward Park. Teams should apply to president@bonnetbayfc.com for a time slot.

The proposed program from 15/3/17 is:

  • Boys & Girls Under 6 to under 11 – Lakewood on Monday nights between 5.00 and 7.00.
  • Boys & Girls Under 12 to under 16 – Lakewood on Tuesday nights between 5.00 and 7.00 (our technical director will be available during these times)
  • Womens Teams from Under 18s and up – Wednesdays at Prince Edward Park
  • Mens Teams from Under 18s up – Thursdays between Prince Edward Park and Lakewood
  • Teams may will have extra sessions by arrangement with the Player Development Committee

Coaches & Managers

BBFC has developed a unique player development system. Features are:

  • We engage a professional technical director to assist coaches and players of our younger teams up to under 16 years.
  • We ave a growth mindset stream focused on psychological training
  • Our youngest teams use a curriculum especially developed for BBFC and train in a squad style rather than individual teams until they reach under 10s.
  • We have specialist goalkeeping coaching sessions for all keepers

Please email president@bonnetbayfc.com if you are interested in becoming a coach or  part of our player development team eg specialist goalkeeper coach, fitness etc.

The Player Development Committee (PDC) appoints Co-ordinators who liaise with and support Coaches within different areas of the club. The PDC also appoints Coaches & Managers.

All BBFC Coaches are encouraged to participate in training courses and seminars to improve their understanding of issues. The club is happy to pay for Coaches to attend approved courses.

All coaches & managers have an obligation to work within club policies which are agreed at the Annual General Meeting each year. These policies cover various matters including “What We Stand For”, Code of Conduct, Player Development, Grading, Safety and more.
