TMG Coaching Folders
The Modern Game has developed an age group specific coaching folder that includes resources and reference material to support both new and experienced coaches. Separated into 5 sections, the folder contains descriptive information on the role of a junior coach, resources for training sessions and game day, basic information on nutrition/fitness and most importantly, an age specific curriculum which provides a great reference to ensure the teaching and learning remains relevant.

Back in October 2011, The Modern Game formed a partnership with Ferntree Gully Eagles Junior Football Club.

While the journey of our partnership has only just started, we wanted to say thank you to Noel White and Sam Cavarra for their fantastic feedback.

At “The Modern Game”, we are always looking to provide professional development opportunities to local junior coaches where they can enhance their knowledge and in-turn improve the junior players at their club.

A night with South Croydon Juniors
On Monday 6th February, The Modern Game visited South Croydon Junior football Club where we delivered a workshop on ‘Effective Coaching & Planning’. There was approximately 30 participants in the room made up of junior coaches, assistant coaches, senior club representatives, interested parents and committee members; a very interactive workshop with a club who are clearly committed to developing their coaching group and giving their junior players the best opportunity to develop and improve.
New Business Name – ‘The Modern Game’
Plan to Win will now be known as “The Modern Game”.
Plan to Win was originally born out of partnering with senior football clubs (only) and at the time, the name suited the business model perfectly. However, our business model has evolved significantly in the past few years and the name Plan to Win no longer aligns with our core business and hence it is important that we distanced ourselves from the word ‘winning’ and we re-named our business to reflect who we are.
