The Rolly Coaches

We have over 50 coaches across the football club, all with varying levels of qualification, experience and expertise, but all with the same shared passion for player development and growth that we do as a club here at the Rolly

what to expect from the coaches

player centricity

patience

development

Communication

Our coaches know that in order to provide the beast learning for the players that they must also self develop. They are continually looking to grow as people and coaches in order to be the best version of themselves

Our coaches talk in clear and simple terms.  We aim to make the player communication experience a positive one, be that verbal or non-verbal 

understanding

creativity

consistency

Enthusiasm

Our coaches are consistent with the players and their peers.  We work with our coaches to ensure consistency with values and beliefs as well as how the players and parents work together

Our coaches model the type of behaviours that we expect from our players. We aim to create enthusiastic players that want to continuously learn and develop 

Our coaches understand the journey for players through football is not simple. Success for each individual will have a different look and feel, our mindset is therefore on helping them

We are of the belief that player centricity is invaluable when coaching players of all ages. We focus on getting to know them and connect in order to meet their needs

Our coaches take risks and challenge the status quo, at EKRR we are always looking to find new ways for the players to challenge themselves and to take risks of their own 

Our coaches will always seek player feedback, aim to build relationships with players and parents alike to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone involved with the club

adaptability

Our coaches know that every player is different, one size does not fit all.  Our coaches have experiences of working across varying age groups to allow for the working in differing environments

A good coach sees in you what you cannot see in yourself and if we are to be successful, we need every member of the squad to act as one team

Technique is not being able to juggle a ball 1,000 times. Anyone can do that by practicing. Then you can work in the circus. Technique is passing the ball with one touch, with the right speed, at the right foot of your teammate

You win by effort, by commitment, by ambition, by quality, by expressing. You work hard to get good and then you work hard to get better
