THE EVOLVING GAME.

Dick Bate. Elite Coaching Manager.
The FA.
Throughout the history of football, has there ever been a
more significant period of change & progress both on &
off the field, than in the last 15 20 years?
As the game continues to evolve along the present lines,
the teaching & coaching of our players must evolve, &
we in this country must aspire to lead the game in the
development of our players by looking forwards &
anticipating the necessities to participate at the highest
levels.
The Future Game.

THE MODERN GAME.

Players are fitter.
Players are Technically better?

counter attacking play.
