Programme Purpose

Our East Coast Bays AFC Girls Development Programme is designed to support junior girls in developing their football skill set throughout 10th and 11th Grades. 'Skill' development is centred around helping players learn/understand how to apply football techniques (passing, shooting, dribbling etc.) to various game related situations. These sessions are open to everyone and aim to support player development, particularly for players with "high intent" that wish to learn and improve their football abilities by adding an extra session per weekin a more competitive environment.

Platform to develop all 

ECB believes all junior players should have an equal opportunity to access the best coaching and development training; not just the 'top' teams. The more players we can influence and develop to their best potential in the junior space, the stronger our players, culture, and club will be. 

Access to quality training

Our Junior Girls Development Programme provides players with a solid introduction to well-structured and quality training where they are placed in high-paced and challenging environments. Our Sessions are split into four key areas: Technical Development, Skill Games, Athlete Development and Game Play. 

What you can expect to see

Constraint based/designed games and football activities linked to core skill development. We help players develop their football skills through the design of our sessions, by exposing them to different problems that they will need to solve, individually or together..

Our coaches will focus on technical skills, decision-making, and game awareness through engaging, game-based practices. Players will work on ball mastery, passing and receiving under pressure, movement and positioning, and small-sided games that promote creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork. This is the very first step to fast-forward into our Girls and Women's Development pathway
