CHAPTER ONE

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the study
Football refers a number of sports that involves the varying degrees kicking a ball with foot to
score a goal. The most popular of these sports world wide is association football more
commonly known as a just football or soccer unqualified the world football is applied to which
ever from of football is the most popular in the regional context in which the world appears
including association of football. Most often the world football is used to refer to the particular
region so effectively. Football is an essentially a simple game based on intelligent interposing.
For most easily grasped in a simple form.However the program of youth football project should
be producing players who are beneficial to the main club and national team. This can be
achieved through a well-organized and structured youth football projects development program.
The impact on the development of youth football projects and their upgrading and contribution
the main clubs and national team in relation to their performance should be given due attention.
Youth football project programs are often viewed as a prime safe venue for teaching and practice
important social values and life skill to youth that will benefit them well in to their youth lives.
While youth are the extended recipients of the project available in youth football projects by
virtue of the leadership positions as league organizations coaches, players, officials, parents and
supporting spectators. These projects are transmitted by young players through the purpose full
professional performance contained in such areas as playing rules and regulations. The
emergence of youth football project organization is found to have contributed to the
establishment of sub communities in America during the 19 th century ( Radar: 1977). Football
project as a discipline there for contribute lovers the development of communities as large by
putting people with similar interest from different back grounds together. This finding is most
unique to America researchers have found similar results in communities in Australia ( Begin
2002). Thailand, (Jonson , 2005) and south Africa ( Pelock 2005). The united states soccer
federation (USSF) coaches manual (1973:8) explains:- It is clear that coach must plan carefully
to achieve goals and objectives, especially interims of players development. Coach need to make
a plan of action at the beginning of the each year or season. By doing so they have on outline of
what the wont to by the end of the year and how the intend to accomplish it. Couching without a
plan specially youth levels often results in player not receiving instruction or practices in areas
that are the bases for future development.

Generally, in order to develop and increases the contribution of youth football projects to main
clubs and national team the development and improvement of players performance is crucial
more over players technical, tactical, physical, moral and psychological development are vitals
and fundamentals. The researcher will be eager and enthusiastic to evaluate, asses and
understand the current problems and prospective of the youth football projects and youth football
projects and this contribution to the main clubs and national team.

In sidama national regional state there are different youth football projects among that projects
bensadaye youth football project is one them. So, Daye town youth football project beguns in
1990E.C at that time number of project players are 30 started by atoAshenafikasa who is first
project president and accomplish different things that to improve internal project competition
such case project was been increase day to day and year to year its modern structure organization
in 1990-2014E.C until this year

1.2 Statement of problems

In the study area there is impropriate diet for the players, improper support, unadequate coaching
style, and weak problem identification system.In order to improve their league and national team
standard the youth football project development program should be given more emphasis and it
is mandatory to run a well-organized and modern football project program investigated where
there is lack of adequate trained man power in the area scientifically selector equipment
corruption of the leadership in the project as well as lack of research works.

The important training and development of future professional players are course full justified
because insures that they are better prepared to face playing at the level. It however, essential to
remember that the game of football has a wider role to play and that it has to provide a real
school of life school that is known the problem than improve and develop not only the elite
players who are passionate about the game and who from the base of the football pyramid that
the game needs to ensure its censure its continued progresses. Youth football project and
coaching process and coaching style including coaching practice are characterized by a number
of complex interaction between the coach, (John J 1978) junior soccer, Smith and Small ( 1999).

In order to improve their league and national team standard the youth football project
development program should be given more emphasis and it is mandatory to run a well-
organized and modern football project program investigated where there is lack of adequate
trained man power in the area scientifically selector equipment corruption of the leadership in the
project as well as lack of research works.

2. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE RE

2.1. Football and youth project
Football is one of the most popular games is U.S today (Arnold, coker. T.P &Nueguku,
R.P,1977). The history of football goes in back as early as 500 B.C. it is believed by many
historians to have its roots in the Greek and Roman culture. We know that English laid the blue
print for this sport around 1600 A.D. in the 1868; Henry Chad Wick presented the game of
football to the United States. No one expected this game to be as popular as it is today. After
World War I football began to show signs of popularity among the people (Arnold. et.al, 1977).
The game has changed dramatically since those early days on the gridiron. Many people are
attracted to the game by the size and the pure athletic ability of the athletes. One of the most
significant changes has been the addition of the strength and conditioning program to help the
athletes obtain superior strength hand conditioning status UN like the athletes that are not bring
trained college football is big business in this modern times. Manyathleticdepartmentsa
tremendous amount of money in order to support this sport. The hope and determination of the
athletic department is to receive mandatory returns in the success of their football program.
Athletics and coaches are always looking for ways to gain an edge on their competition.

In the last few decades, this edge has been sought through the strength and conditioning
programs. Since the game of football is very popular the thought is that there would be a large
body of research devoted to this popular sport. However, the reality is that there is very little
research available in this area. “Football is the last studied sport in U.S. today. We have very
little direct significance evidence on the physical demands of the sport the recovery process, the
effect of long-term participation” (Kraemer, 1997,P, 131). As shown in the background section
youthfootball project development program is the most vital and important time in which player
a quire different skills, techniques, tactics, abilities and knowledge that facilitate the important
and development of player’s performance. Sport training for youth football projects is very
complex long and continuous educational process FIFA coaching manual (2004:2). The aim of
the process is making use of making specific means, to contribute to the achievement of
maximum sports performance by a player based on the beloved development of his/ her entire
personality. But it is actually fairly easy to understand when explained properly. As a result the
main clubs and national team status can be raised. When youth project improve their status
depend on the supply of their youth football projects this is also a direct impact on the
development national league competition standard. Youth football projects that produce quality
players who are suitable and fit with the modern football and competent in international level.
The problem in the training of its youth football project development program have to assessed
and maintained to a level which can produce great component players who are capable of
modern football. However, countries like Ethiopia in process and with several difficult to
develop their leagues and national team standards. On this issue FIFA coaching manual (2004:2)
has the following to note.

Obviously that football at the top club level is now highly internationalized whether interims
player transfers, club ownership and broad casting rights. Football clubs are therefore in
caressingly dealing with foreign clubs, individuals and other bodies. For mid-teens, study, social,
activities and part time work pressures are increasing. Furthermore, entertainment opportunities
such as movies, music and online games complete with the AFL for spectator interest. According
to latest research, there are two dropout chasm critical transition periods coincide with
“intrusive” changes in football playing conditions, such as a dramatic change in the rules of the
game and the movement from first squad to second squad, which affects kind around 12-13 years
of age. And then the movement from junior to a senior club which affects the 17-18 years olds.
Limited opportunities to play, or a product, which does not meet the expectations or needs of the
youth accelerate the drop out…….. Saturday morning footballs UN cool”. (South Australian
football league youth participation). Research report: Decking university 2001) participation
drop-out begins after the under 125 & accelerates through the tea nag years. While social issues
are major factor, the football structure accelerates the drop-out rate due to inflexible youth
competition structures. In pursuance of the agreement concerning cultural cooperation between
the federal between the federal republic of Germany and the republic of Namibia of 5 June 1991
and desiring to strength the existing bilateral relations cooperation in the field of sports, the
parties have agreed on a youth football long term project.
2.2. The Role of Sport office
The role of bochesa town sport office :-

 It organize the woreda sport office work youth project training winter and summer
training and computation, collecting money from farmers, governmental body, non-
governmental bodies, merchants and other well voluntary bodies and by planning
project wall as from the kebele, woreda, zonal and regional different types of sport
computation by organized governmental bodies.
 It makes beneficial for the societies in sport social, economic, mental and physical
well-being.
 It select players from different woredas to be competent in the regional level in cultural
and modern sport competitions.
 It gives different short & long coaching enhancing courses for coaches and referee
(officials).
 It works with different governmental and non-governmental sectors.

The sport commission has a number of key roles:-

 Strategic planning: defining, driving and monitoring the organizations strategic

direction, priorities and results.FIFA coaching manual(2004:3)
 Stockholders involvement: defining key relationship, interacting with stockholders
to inform them of achievements and ensuring that stake holders have input into
determining strategic, priorities and results.Rechman and Katherine (1999)
 Enhancing the organizations public image: promoting the organization a positive
light and preforming “ambassadorial” duties.(Dewitt J. (2001:89)
 Organizational performance: reviewing, monitoring and ensuring management and
organizational performance.FIFA coaching manual (2004;1)
 Reporting:- reporting to members and stake holders at the annual general meeting.
 Management of chief executive officer: appointment, performance management
and review, providing advice and guidance and rewarding the chief executive
officer as appropriate. FIFA coaching manual (2004;1)
 Management of financial resource (Dewitt J. (2001:89)
  Risk management: ensuring the risk facing the organization are identified and
assessed, ensuring a risk management plan is established, regularly reviewing this
plan to ensure its effectiveness, and monitoring compliance with it.Rechman and
Katherine (1999)

2.3. Factors which influence for the development of youth football projects
1. Coaches caching motives styles:- the reasons why you take up coaching will
undoubtedly affect how you coach. For example, if you wish to see young people develop
socially and learn new skills, you will adopt a supportive educational approach to
coaching and place an emphasis on personal development rather than competitive
success,(FIFA coaching Manual 2004)
2. The athletes: if you adopt an athlete-centered approach, as is recommended, you
should adopt your coaching style to meet the specific needs of your athletesFIFA
coaching Manual 2004)
3. The situation: there are some situation in a particular style of coaching is more
apppriate than another. In certain contexts for example, where safety is an important
issue, it might be more appropriate to adopt a directive approach to coaching in order to
maintain control and ensure that accidents to do not happen and athletes behave in an
appropriate manner,(US Soccer Manual 2010),
4. Coach’spersonality; coaches are human beings and therefore have individual
personalities. Some coaches may be extroverts out going and lively in there and go about
their coaching in a quit, calm manner .in truth personality does not matter provided that
appropriate actionsand behaviors are maintained, which relate to the situation.(FIFA
coaching Manual 2004).
5. coach’s knowledge ;the more knowledge you are as a coach ,the more options you
will have available to you to plan and deliver effective sessions. Knowledge will also
help you to feel confident and create a positive environment for you athletes .A
coachlacking in knowledge may come across as low in confidence and may be perceived
as lacking skills or the ability of knowing how to deal with certain situations(FIFA
coaching Manual 2004)

The football coaching style a coach adopts will very much be based upon the football coaches
own personality, the age and ability of the players being coached, the numbers of players in the
group, health and safety and the kind of sessions /technique / skill being coached .the ability of
the football coach to identify and use a particular style of football coaching is a skill on its own.

2.4 Training plan in football

International DFB couching course(B:license) (2008;72) defines that, per iodization as the whole
training and competition year is divided in to periods in order to establish and improve
performance towards a specific aim wherebymeans of training, loading and contents have to be
taken in to consideration. Similarly FIFA coaching manual (2004;1)defines per iodization as a
technique of planning the process of training and competition , so that the annual training plan is
a succession of periods, each of which has a different style of activity.

As described in the FIFA coaching manual(2004;1)the development of a football player and the
preparation of a team are comparable to building a house. So in order to achieve the objectives
that have been set, the coaching staff have to follow a series of steps that have been scheduled as
part of overall plan.

In line with this idea the DFB international the coaching course manual (B-License) (2008:23)
has states that, football training is a complex series of action aimed at influencing the
development of performance in a systematic and goal oriented way.

In general regardless of the level of trainees, knowledge of the sport or years of experience,the
coach should prepare his/her training plan. Adding to this idea Dewitt J. (2001:89) suggests that
training sessions ar so important to the development of payers ,therrfore it is needed to approach
each session with a plan. However, as FIFA coaching manual(2004:1) states that , planning in
training depends to a large extent on the age of players their level of development, the category
of competition in which they are playing and the fixture lists for the competitions in which they
are involved

2.5 Prospective plan

The assumption is that long term plan of the training, which is based on long term outlook, view,
or perception of the club or the project perspective plan is planned by considering the success of
the training in the long run. Such kind of plan is mostly planned for world cup (four year plan),
African cp of nations (two year plan) and youth project plan. In addition to this idea DawittJ.
(2001:89) recommends that a long term plan should reflect priorities, philosophies and goalsfor
the team, club or project.
2.6 Annual plan/ one year plan
As suggested in FIFA coaching manual(2004:3) the following criteria should be taken in to
account when drawing up an annual training plan:

Paying level, performance age and training age, the number of players (squad size) available,
The fixture list, The objective for performance on the pitch for the session, The infrastructures,
equipments and conditions available for training, The coaching staff available(coaches, medical
support administration manager and sports psychology). Analysis and assessment of past
performances, The social environment of players .

2.7 Coaching philosophy

Philosophy is a greak word which is derived from the word philosophy, which means love of
wisdom. Philosophy can be defined the study of truth, through the systematic investigation of
reality, knowledge, means and values. It Is also defined as the study of nature of reality and
values of movement for all participants, debates critical issues believes of reality and values
released to football coaching. It influence through action and decision in coaching professionally
endeavors. Philosophy provides direction; it enables the use of knowledge and skills in the most
effective manner. A well formulated philosophy promotes the development amd classification of
believe and values. Which serve as a foundation of behavior. Philosophy aids in decision making
morally and values that guide our conduct not only in our professional capacity but also in our
daily living. Rechman and Katherine (1999) defnes philosophy as the study of problems which
are ultimate abstract and general. These problems are concerned with the nature of existence
knowledge, morality, reason and human purpose.

Sir alexferguson:- “playing winin g backs, while using three central defenders, represents a
fairless aggressive attacking philosophy than operation with wingers”.

Roy hodgson: “ the modern coach needs a philosophy, an expert eye and institution”.

2.8 Basic facilities and equepments of football training

Different pieces of equipments are needed during fot ball training. In line with idea, dawit J.
(2001:55) states that , “you may find it convienent to own your own equipments regardless of
your situation, basic source of equipment will make teaching and coaching easier”. Therefore, to
make the training session effective through the application of different technical and tactical
skills it is mandatory to consider the trainin g equipment. As a result the following list of
materials is most important parts for successful training such as field of play, soccer, ball, shin
guards, shirts and shorts and practice bibs.

2.9 Method of technical and tactical development

Technical and tactical preparation forms the nuecleus of sport training for football. Here the
technica and tactical aspects of individual play activities are thought, play combinations, and
play system are practiced and perfected while at the same time the special knowledge ,skils, and
creativity of the players are added to. Technique is obviously of fundamnetaly importance. It
forms the basis for possession of the ball, for keeping it under control in different play situation
and for using it to good advantage. Good technical skill adapted to any particular situation with
enables a player to avoid losing the ball to frequently and the having to expend more energy in
trying to regain it. Unless a payer has perfect ball control, he will never realy be able to control a
game. It is the ability to execute a solitary action in solution from the game such as a control with
the chest, a pass or a volleyed shot. The player is only concerned with executing the action
without the distructions of the other players. Technique also refers to the relationship and
harmony.
