Our Football Coaching Philosophy

Garforth Villa Football Club has been providing football for kids and adults in Leeds since 1970. We've come a long way since then, with both boys and girls football teams now playing at our club. Our Coaching Philosophy is the heart of what we do.

​

If you are looking into what grassroots clubs can offer you in the local area, then Garforth Villa Football Club is perfectly positioned to be able to offer you our expertise in coaching, learning and football player development.

​

Joining a grassroots football club is a great way to learn and develop the skills of a professional footballer, in a fun, safe, all inclusive environment. We provide kids with a safe place to learn football in Garforth, Leeds. By joining Garforth Villa Football Club, you can begin to learn to play football and maximise your enjoyment of the game. Our practice sessions are designed by Coaches, to aid the ability of the player. It is important to remember, that at junior level, it is especially important to allow the player to develop their skills whilst feeling safe to maximise their enjoyment of the game. Junior football isn't all about winning matches. It is also about developing the player and the person, such as building their confidence and developing their social skills, many of which they can use throughout life

Coaching Philosophy

  • Our Club is proud to have its own coaching philosophy. The aim of our philosophy is to establish a distinct Garforth Villa Football Club culture based on clear values and beliefs. Our aim is for all those who wear our kit - including coaches and players – to be consistent in the way they work and behave, both on and off the pitch.

​​

  • The long-term aim of our philosophy is to create the best possible footballing learning environment to equip our boys and girls with the tools and skills to go and play at the highest level possible.  We want to create technically proficient players, who understand the game and make good decisions.

​​

  • To help to achieve this aim, we will seek to create an environment that allows them to develop and enjoy what they are doing. Our teams will be prepared and encouraged to win games, tournaments and competitions at every level. Winning is a crucial part of a players development journey and success at development level breeds confidence for winning now and in the future.

​​

  • However, ‘winning’ is not just about trophies. We want them to be winners in different ways, e.g. win the appreciation of those watching them play through good football, win the respect of their opponents and of each other, win the plaudits for playing the game in the right spirit.
