Coach Bri

Hi coaches,

Looking forward to the season ahead- I feel so excited to be back at SPSA in this capacity — it’s going to be a short and busy one! Below are a few resources and supports available this season. I've also attached some resources Ive done up for you. 

• Practice Plans: Optional session plans for coaches who want extra support. These are the same plans I’ll use during technical sessions with your team. I’ll also check in before sessions to see what your team needs most.
• Technical Team Sessions: Every team has been assigned at least one technical session (see schedule). Please double check times, as they often slightly differ from regular practices. Schedules may shift due to weather/games, but I’ll always communicate changes if they relate to your team. These sessions are also meant to support coach mentorship and ideas.
• New Coaches: This Thursday I’ll run a quick tips & tricks session to help get you started and answer questions. Please join and you're welcome to bring your child/player to ensure childcare does not complicate attendance. This is not for the full team, but coaches' children (playing age) will be incorporated into the session if they join. Feel free to message/text anytime.
• Thursday Mentorship Sessions: Most Thursdays will include technical sessions for Girls 11+ and Boys 11+. Coaches wanting extra mentorship are encouraged to attend or reach out ahead of time. Please encourage your players to attend, and ensure that families are aware of this opportunity that the club has paid for! 
• Warm-Ups: This will go a long way for the club and all team & player success & injury prevention.  FIFA 11+ warmup before games/practices. It’s one of the most evidence-based soccer warmups for injury prevention and performance. The FIFA 11+ is the activation phase and goes before your dribbling/passing/other warmups. 
• Position/Formation Resource: Optional guide explaining common SPSA formations, player positioning, and skill development.
• Game Support: During tournaments listed in the schedule, I’ll be available for tactical/game support on a first-come basis. Message me if interested.

If you need anything at all, send me a message — I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. Email responses are unlikely on weekends, but texts will always get an answer!

Cheers,
Bri
