JJFC’s Values

Our Coaching Philosophy

We want our teams to play purposeful possession without fear of failure, with our coaches promoting skill, intelligence and decision-making across all ages.

Across all teams we have an Age-Phase specific Curriculum designed to develop skillful players who are comfortable with the ball and resilient out of possession. We want to develop intelligent decision makers which we term "Self-Learners". In order to achieve this we have grouped Ages together to create:

  • Discovery Phase (U3-U6s) - Focus is on fundamental movements (Agility, Balance, Coordination) as well as physical literacy with a soccer-ball

  • Ball Mastery Phase (U7s-U12s) - Focus on control, ball manipulation and individualism 

  • Skillful Possession Phase (U13-U16s) - Focus on when to pass/dribble and more emphasis on Game/Positional understanding

  • Game-Leaders Phase (U17s-U19s) - Focus on how to manage the game, become a leader and adapt to different game-styles
