Space Coast United Coaches Take Part in Foundation Division Training Session

Space Coast United’s Foundation Division coaches participated in a valuable in-house learning and training session designed to enhance how practices are run for our youngest soccer players. Led by Foundation Director Hugh Cousins, the session focused on ensuring that all coaches are aligned with the club’s curriculum and equipped to deliver high-quality, engaging practices for the players.

During the training, coaches had the opportunity to walk through some of the core practice drills that will be used in the Foundation Division this season. The hands-on approach allowed coaches to experience the drills firsthand and understand the key elements of each exercise. This process is essential in helping them break down the drills and determine how to effectively run them in real-world scenarios.

By participating in these sessions, coaches gained a deeper understanding of what is expected during training: how to clearly communicate the drills to young players, create a fun yet educational environment, and manage the timing and structure of each drill. The controlled environment gave coaches a chance to evaluate whether any drills needed modifications, ensuring that every session is appropriate for the age group and skill level.

“We want to make sure that every coach knows exactly what they’re doing when they step onto the field,” said Hugh Cousins. “By taking the time to run through the drills, we’re ensuring consistency across all teams, which will ultimately help the players improve on a daily basis.”

Sessions like this are vital to keeping coaches on the same page and aligning everyone with Space Coast United’s vision. The goal is simple: to provide a structured, enjoyable, and developmental experience for every young player, so they can continue growing as soccer players while loving the game.

With all coaches now on board and ready to implement the training curriculum, Space Coast United is excited for the season ahead and confident that its players will benefit from the collective knowledge and preparation of the coaching staff.
