Football Training

Under 6 to Under 11 Training – T3 Australia

For the 2017 season, Hills Grammar School Football Club has introduced an exciting new concept for the training and development of our junior players in the Under 6 to Under 11 age groups. We have engaged T3 Australia to facilitate the weekly training sessions for all of our U6-U11 teams.

T3 Australia is a football organisation empowering the grassroots level of football. T3 Australia was started in July 2011 by former professional players Matt Sim and Ehsan Popal to develop non elite community level football. T3 Australia is a grassroots organisation (not academy) dedicated to increasing the standards of grassroots (non-elite) football.

The T3 concept was founded by world renowned youth coach Tom Byer. Judged by his peers, local and international media, Tom has forever changed the way football has been taught in Japan over the last 25 years, and is now spreading his experience to Australia, China, Indonesia, India, UK and USA. Tom is the only youth coach in the world to hold the prestigious Adidas Golden boot award.

With a strong expertise in, and a deep understanding of the development process of school children, T3 Australia has created a unique learning philosophy centred around building a positive football environment for each child. The football environment is the formation of key influences that will give optimum opportunity for a child to develop skills and maximise their enjoyment with the round ball.

Developing in an environment where learning technique is fun is the key to enjoying the game for years to come. T3 coaches who are passionate teachers of the game support children on the field by demonstrating skills and providing a positive environment where they can naturally grow. Parents play a significant role in the philosophy as they are key mentors in their child's lives and can help instil good soccer habits at home. T3 engage and educate parents with unique T3 platforms such as Apps and home practice skills balls that all enhance development off the field.  All under 6 and under 7 parents will receive a free copy of Tom Byer’s book “Football starts at home”.

Training will commence on Wednesday 22 March with the following times:

Training will be at the same time on both Wednesday and Thursday. The competition will start on Saturday 01 April, 2017. All teams will be notified when the draw is released.

We will still have parents involved in a volunteer match day coach/manager role and anyone who may be interested in being involved should email the Football Coordinator geoff.johnson@hillsgrammar.nsw.edu.au as soon as possible.
