Our approach focuses on teaching valuable life skills, building healthy habits, and promoting resilience, all while creating a supportive and safe environment. This nurturing atmosphere is upheld by our dedicated committee, coaching staff, enthusiastic volunteers, and our eager players, ensuring inclusivity for everyone
At Red Bend JRL, our coaching philosophy is centred around instilling a passion and love for the game in all our players. We strive to encourage our players to pursue excellence, both on and off the field, by fostering a culture of continuous development. We prioritise the growth and learning of our players, emphasising the importance of becoming students of the game and mastering its strategies and tactics.
Our aim is to create a positive and enjoyable learning environment that is fair and supportive, placing the needs and development of our players at the forefront of our coaching approach. We believe in player-centred coaching, where each player is valued and respected, and where coaches serve as role models both on and off the field.
We are committed to sharing knowledge and expertise, planning and delivering age-appropriate training sessions tailored to each stage of a player’s development, from minis to mods and international levels. We strive to create and nurture a strong team culture that celebrates diversity and unity. Above all, we believe in letting kids be kids, ensuring that football remains a fun and enriching experience for all our players.
If you make every game a life and death proposition, you’re going to have problems. For one thing, you’ll be dead a lot.
