Jamie , Tilly and Oliver’ s Dad, has volunteered to coach his son’ s soccer team as part of the Lane Cove Football Club.
It’s his second week into the season, and according to our correspondent on the ground, like a true Currambena Dad, Jamie has so far focused on sitting in a circle, building team spirit and reminding the players (aged 3 - 5yrs) that it is, after all, only a game. Most of the other coaches have their charges tearing up and down the ground, working on ball skills and practicing their ‘dives in the penalty area’ .
Could the Currambena approach eventually revolutionise the World Game?
We’ d have fewer red cards and a lot more discussion of how it makes you feel when someone goes for your legs, not the ball and gets away with it. Or how threatening it can be for the poor goal keeper forced to face a penalty shoot out, all alone in the huge goal and everyone cheering for the other lot.
Australia’ s bidding to host the World Cup in 2018 . Is this a business opportunity for Currambena and Fran and Chris’s conflict resolution course?
I think someone should make a submission?
