ANNEXURE “A”
West Wanderers vision and philosophy:
Football is a game:
· to be enjoyed by players, coaches and spectators
· which provides enjoyment for all when you play attacking football and try to score goals
· In which scoring goals is the key objective.
Beliefs
Principles for scoring goals:
· You must have the ball in order to dominate the game and create goal scoring opportunities
· Possession based football is the best way to get the ball and our players into goal scoring positions.
Principles for preventing goals:
· If we have the ball, our opponents cannot score
· If we don’t have the ball, we must deny our opponents time and space to use the ball
· If we win the ball back as close to the opponents’ goal as possible, it restricts their ability to get the ball and their players into goal scoring positions.
Qualities required of players
· The Four Core Skills (First Touch, Running with the Ball, 1v1, Striking the Ball)
· TIC (distinguishable but not separable)
· Excellent positioning to receive the ball
· Problem-solving / decision-making
· Creativity and unpredictability
· Forward thinking, forward looking
· Work hard, but smart (refining strength of Australian players).
Vision;
1. Team Principles:
Style: Proactive play in all the main moments
Formation: 1-4-3-3
Principles in the 4 main moments:
· BP: Structured build-up and controlled possession to create goal scoring opportunities, using individual skill and creative combination play to convert them.
· BPO: Winning the ball back as soon as possible and as close to the opponents’ goal as possible to deny opponents time and space to limit their ability to create goal scoring opportunities.
· BP to BPO: Press the ball immediately on loss of possession.
· BPO to BP: Immediate transition into attacking positions, making the field as big as possible.
