THE BREWSTER TRUST, Barbados

On Monday, 21st January 2013 the “School Programme 2013” kicked off with a coaching course for the Secondary Schools’ coaches with in total 51 registered participants from 24 schools. The course was held by John Olaleye of Arsenal FC at the Samuel Jackman Prescod Polytechnic.

During the three days the following elements had been on the agenda for the sessions on the field:

– “Cones all over the pitch”- doubles
– Passing – Heading – Volleying
– Catch & Throw
– Crossing the channel
– Square possession
– End to end
– Team play

During an off-the-field session some insights with regards to health, nutrition,  tactics, motivation, team building, respect or fair play had been shared and discussed. All registered coaches had been invited for lunch by the BSSFL.

The on and off-the-field sessions have been summarised in a documentation with 61 pages that has been given to the coaches at the end of the course.

THE BREWSTER TRUST thanks the participants for their engagement and passion, well done. A big thank you also to Samuel Jackman Prescod Polytechnic, we were allowed to use their facilities over three full days, a generous gesture. A final thank you to John Olaleye of Arsenal FC who travelled to Barbados to conduct the course – entertaining, pulsating and diversified – we hope to see you back again soon.

Finally some statistics: We started with 51 registered coaches/teachers, 33 (64.71%) attended on Monday, 30 (58.82%) on Tuesday and again 30 (58.82%) on Wednesday. 19 participants (37.25%) attended on all three days.
