Australian Under 13 Coach Talks the 1-4-3-3 and Medical University of South Carolina Provides An Introduction To The ACL Injury / Treatment
This program is broadcast on Tuesday, 29 June 2010 at 7:00PM on 2xxfm (98.3mhz) through the Australian Community Radio Network.
We continue our very informative discussion with Nicola Williams, Coach of the Australian U13 Girls team. Nicola speaks directly to the roles / responsibilities of the players in the 1-4-3-3 system of play, that is now mandated by the FFA for use by all representative coaches. This is the system all teams at the National Junior Championships and the NTC Challenge (eg ACTAS) must be coached to play and play it.
Then we have a very informative interview from the Medical University of South Carolina on the subject of ACL injuries. A Dr Geier, an orthopaedic surgeon, gives an excellent introduction to all aspects of the matter. Essential information, particularly for parents of female players, who, as Dr Geier points out, research indicates that female players are more prone to this season ending injury than male players.

Coach for Australian Girls Under 13 Team Talks About Selection, What They Are Looking For and How The Technical Assessment Process Worked and the 1-4-3-3 Playing System At The Under 13 Girls National Junior Championships
On Tuesday the NPL will broadcast the first part of an extended interview conducted with Nicola Williams, Coach of the Australian Under 13 Girls team. It's a terrific interview.
They are doing some outstanding things in WA and Football West for Football and Futsal. Recall the interview the NPL did with the Coach of the Football West Under 13 Boys in 2009 (Warren Grieve) - they had it all and a lot of them ended up being selected in the Australian Under 13 Team.
They play it out from the back in WA - they don't hoof it long!
You will quickly understand why Nicola is the Coach of this Australian team. She is very impressive. I'm hard pressed to recall many rep coaches who can speak so confidently and with such clarity about Football. Too many talk in cliches! She gives the best general introduction to the 1-4-3-3 playing system I've heard and I have listened to a few try to talk it through, but none as clear as Nicola Williams.
Nicola has lot to say about the Nationals, standard of play, technical assessment, the value of the All Stars match and what she is looking for when selecting players. Some good advice too for us community coaches. Nicola followed up the the players final selection process at AIS with detialed instructions to each player by way of preparation before they tour Vietnam. Very organised. Very smart!
Oh yes, Nicola is a teacher in WA at a high school that specialises in delivering Football as the primary co-curricular sports option (one of six!!). I told you they were going ahead in WA. Must be all that distance away from the FFA headquarters!
Next Tuesday the NPL will broadcast Part 1 of the interview, with Part 2 (the 1-4-3-3 playing system) to follow. By popular request, Part 2 will be put up on the blog next Tuesday as well as Part 1. Can't say fairer than that!

Under 13 Girls Training Camp
Friday, 16 April 2010
Westfield Australian Under 13 Girls National Team Head Coach, Nicola Williams, has selected a squad of thirty (30) players to attend a training camp at the Australian Institute of Sport, Canberra from Thursday 13 May to Sunday 16 May.
Williams selected the squad from the recent 2010 Westfield FFA National Junior Championships for Girls which were held in Canberra.
“What we saw last week was a new way of playing implementing the FFA curriculum which saw a high standard of play throughout the tournament culminating in an exciting All-Star game,” said Head Coach Nicola Williams.
“The new curriculum gives players more time with the ball and gives them the chance to play which made it easier to identify a promising selection of players with some standouts in the central midfield and attacking positions.
“There are a lot of players trialing for positions and it will be tough to make a final selection of players as there are a lot of players performing at a high level from a very early age.”
This squad will be reduced to twenty two (22) players after the selection camp in May, and will represent Australia at the upcoming AFC Under 13 Girls – Festival of Football.
The AFC Under 13 – Festival of Football is scheduled to be held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam from the 20h June to 3rd July 2010.
