FA 4 Corners
At Westfields we support the FA Four Corner Model
We promote an inclusive and fun coaching environment that is based on The FA four corner model encompasses four key attributes that are vital for any developing young footballer:
- Physical
- Technical
- Psychological

By providing training sessions with a long term development goal and elements of these four corners a coach will help children to develop more than just their football skills, they will help them to gain confidence, build self-esteem, learn to work as a team and improve their decision making.
