The highlight by far was ex-USA women's coach April Heinrichs and her presentation of Coaching Women's Football, USA Football structure and her overall passion for the game.
Also a special mention to Darren Davies, MVFC youth coach. He presented the 6-week conditioning model practical sessions and I can honestly say he's the best coach I've ever had the pleasure to watch in my life - a pure genius. Very jealous MVFC have snared this guy.
I'll be heading along to the FFSA one coming up, but it'll be a big ask to top te one put on by the FFV
On second thoughts: $200? Is that a joke. The FFV conference cost $75 for licenced, registered coaches and was presented by the likes of Heinrichs and Tom Sermani.

If they are following the same agenda (which I imagine they will be) I highly recommend attending. Opening with updates the national curriculum it moved into the skill acquisition programme and then into sessions on the 6-week conditioning cycle and finally the importance of positioning games in training.
I feel as though I I was an "old-school" type of coach I would have gotten much more out of it, but as somebody who is a big believer in the NC and the modern game a lot of it felt as though it was common sense.
Either way, for $200 if you haven't just been across to Victoria it would probably be worth it, under the condition you've bought into the NC ideology the way I have. I was the youngest person there by about 20 years so at times it felt as though I was in a room full of old dogs who were trying to be taught new tricks - that was the only downside... Oh and Sean Douglas (head of FFV development?) was the least interesting human being ever.

Maybe not down to every single letter, that's simply not practical - the NC is not perfect and is a living, working model. I do think it's fair to say we stick heavily to the principle of it, playing out from the back, press high, 4-3-3s, etc etc. though.
Best part was seeing which faces were in the room, learning / updating knowledge.
Spoke to a few people over the weekend, and one brought up a very interesting point, in that he felt it was compulsory for at least one person from each club to come in and hear what was being said. May / may have not been the case.
Most interesting part was Kossie being asked whether he followed the 6-week conditioning cycle in pre-season; refreshingly he was honest and explained why they didn't follow it to the letter.
John Aloisi was great - articulate, detailed and never shy in revealing info.
would have love to have gone but just couldn't afford it !!! yes i understand the football=conditioning and conditioning=football im all for it but what was kossies reason for not using this practice???

What about showing some proof and facts? It's easy to say 'he doesn't do....' but tell us what you know; are you part of the team, do you see the training, are you a trainer, are you a coach? Some of those questions are self evident, as it gets quite expensive to accrue the required qualifications to be involved in a professional sport. The FFSA STATE COACHING CONFERENCE was not expensive for those that require it.
