The Keiffer method «hits, gives your ball, the center etc …» near the meadows, very often it is what you can hear. An educator is still called the leader and therefore too often … he directs. This conception of unilateral and boarding learning is still too present. Through a double article I suggest you discover an effective method that transforms the player into a true actor of his evolution.

An alternative method to teach football can be used. On the field, the player should not be assimilated to a puppet that obeys orders from the key. Contradictory orders can even come from different people. In training, the exercises are still too often empty, even without balloon and too often in step with the realities of a game. The player is set to make the gesture he needs when his manager on the sidelines asks him. However, the French footballer is looking for intelligent players who choose the appropriate gesture based on the game situation.

An imagined method to combat this approach has been implemented and has proven to be. Is called » Pleasure and performance method And it is the work of Scree François Current educator of U11 D ‘Arles-Avignon.

The two fundamental principles:

1. The player’s independent reflection. From the cold analysis after an exercise or a meeting by the players themselves. The player provides answers to the questions that the game asked him.
2. Create games playing situations. The player understands the reason for the gesture or travel and applies to how.

In the rest of this article the detail: the 6 basic concepts of the MPP

1 Define a common picture

Life environment : The player must know from the beginning of the season in which framework will have to evolve and the limits that will be imposed on him. During a player and educator who meets erecting a series of rules to be respected. These are the players who offer them. The educator must enrich the discussion. The player must apply the rules and the educator is the guarantor of the application of common rules

Common game framework : Players taking involved in choosing the game can give their best. So ask them how they want to evolve and know their desire for progression will give a chassis and goal to the coach who will have to do everything to progress his players.

2-play in football….

The game situations must be used as much as possible. Instead of testing intervals for many hours of training, players will have to be offered situations that are truly game situations. The global method It therefore allows you to work on specific football sequences: breed, control, speed, hitting etc. But also the presence of an opposition and to need to play under the pressure of an opponent. To be effective, you must approach the conditions of correspondence and therefore be able to reproduce them.

3-Integrate a reflection of the reflection in the face of a situation

The systematic opposition obliges the player to think of performing the gesture correctly. In its memory, the solutions to the imposed problem affects. So you have to from the beginning:

• Establishing a real dialogue in which listening to the word of the other is more important than hers.
• Go to the essential elements during the training sessions to glue as much as possible to the reality of the game
• Get meaning in the proposed exercises that must remember as much as possible the game situations, the difficulties encountered during the games
• Take the time to observe without intervening and stopping the game. The observation made, it will be easier to return to situations with the players

Your players must ask these questions and answer them with their own means

• The balloon : How to use it? When? Check or hit? Step or dribbles?
• The partner : When should I play with him? Which partner do I choose?
• The opponent : Where is it? What is he doing? How is my opponent?
• Space : Where should I put or move? What ball should I do?
• Time : When and why should I accelerate? When, should I delay?
• The mind : Why make efforts? Are they able to bear the pressure?

The idea through an exercise of theme (a session) is to work a problem to be solved: short game, long game, sides, defensive replacement, attachment, … one of the first questions to ask is «What do you think we are working?» So, it’s about guiding the player so that he himself finds the solution to the problem posed.

Have a coherent speech : The speech that occupies a predominant place in pedagogy must be rich, various, adapted, clear, but above all positive And consistent.

The concrete approach

1. Put the player in action quickly : The explanation must be fast, maximum 1 ‘.
2. Observer : Put in order to see the entire exercise without stopping, without correcting, without showing, without explaining! 10 ‘
3. To understand : Take notes during the observation phase, ask questions.
4. Act : Establish problems asking questions and reformulating them if the answers do not arrive. Listen to the answers and use it to reach the answer.
5. Act : Players must implement the solutions provided. Observation and action can start four to five times per theme.
6. Suitable with the evolution of the player : always offer greater evolution in the approach of their football
