Crystal Palace Coaching Philosophy

Tactical Philosophy All Crystal Palace players Are expected to be able to defend and attack as an individual Are expected to be both footed by the time they come in as scholars All Crystal Palace teams Are expected to know how to defend as a team, whether pressing from the front or dropping off and holding as a team. Are encouraged to react quickly in transition, offensive and defensive Are encouraged to make the pitch big in possession and control the tempo of the game Are encouraged to play forward, making passes that take opponents out of the game Are encouraged to play quickly in and around the box demonstrating combination play Are expected to know how and when to rotate and interchange during the game Are encouraged to be creative in wide areas (creating 2 v 1’s) whilst getting players in and around the box (3 & 2) Encourage players to express themselves at the right time and in the attacking third

U8’s- U12’s Philosophy Technically proficient Sound decision makers in pressurised situations Two footed Talented individuals that play effectively in teams

U13’s- U18’s Philosophy To produce teams that play good attractive football and players that are both tactically aware and can adapt to a variety of situations and formations All teams to play with a back four and play out from the back whenever possible

Promote togetherness, train, eat, downtime, together as one club Extended family to reach out to players with troubled backgrounds Promote humility to develop individuals Discipline to each other, team staff Respect for each other, team, staff Mixing younger players with senior players Detailed training.
