Coaching Resources

The FFA provides a wide range of coaching resources to help you navigate each phase of player development, from U6 right through to senior football. These resources include example training sessions and activities that focus on different aspects of the game.

Below are some links we believe you will find useful:
• FFA Resource
• Discovery Phase (U5-U9)
• Skill Acquisition Phase (U9-U13)
• Game Training Phase (U13-U16)

YouTube is also an excellent source of information, with thousands of coaching videos from around the world demonstrating a wide variety of training practices.
We strongly encourage coaches to plan sessions in advance — avoid “winging it” — and reach out if you need support. If you’re unsure about anything, please contact the coaching coordinator for your program. They are always happy to offer guidance.
