The BBFS philosophy is to improve the technical ability and psychological strength of each individual player both male/female (aged 5-16 years of age) in the programme. The emphasis is to promote participation and enjoyment amongst young players, coaches, parents and spectators in a creative, exciting and safe environment.
The BBFS syllabus covers every area of football and has 4 key aspects of Brazilian origin.
1.Futebul de Salao, 2. Emphasis on individual skills, 3. Increased training time
4. Mental and Physical strength
Research has shown that for the development of quick feet, close dribbling and passing skills there is nothing better than FDS.
Spending time with the size 2 FDS ball is just two thirds of their time with any remaining time being spent with a conventional size ball working on other areas such as short passes, long passes, heading, shooting and match situations.
BBFS aims for two levels of results:
1. Individual: The setting of personal skill levels and self discipline.
2. Teamwork: The respect for each other enabling us to work together on and
off the field.
BERMUDA’S BRAZILIAN FOOTBALL SCHOOL – Life Skill Program:
BBFS does not just concentrate on our participants being good football players we also aim for good behaviour in the class and on and off the field. BBFS participants are well rounded individuals who will be respected in the community for their positive outlook.
SKILL DEVELOPMENT:
The BBFS Skills Development Program is being introduced to reward and recognize our members for their level of achievement. The core objective is to provide clear and concise feedback for future development.
The BBFS ideology is based on training methods that consistently evaluate the present technical level of each player and setting new standards for their future development. This is combined via regular group training sessions and individual practice sessions.
The skills development program will see all players within the program start at level one and will progress at their own individual rate as the program develops.
