More youngsters will become succesfull football players if they are allowed to have fun rather than focusing on results. That is the opinion of Keld Bordinggaard, coach for the Danish U21 national team.

“The players only learn how to follow orders. But on top level we need intelligent players, who are able to think independently and create solutions. Earlier we believed, that we could instruct us into creating skillfull players, but we cannot. That is why we in Danish football today have a lot of players, who are skilled at organizing and following orders, but only few players, who are able to break down the opponents organization and think for themselves” says Bordinggaard.
With his colleague Kasper Hjulmand he has produced a report on a new direction in Danish youth football. Inspired by downgoing numbers in Danish children active in the sport and downgoing international results for both Danish national teams and clubs, the two football coaches realized, that something needed to be done.
The answer, according to Bordinggaard and Hjulmand, is a new way of training young football players for the good of both the children as well as Danish football. This includes few players on every team and thereby more direct involvement in the game for every player, less focus on results and gathering of the best players in elite clubs and generally creating an environment, where the youngsters develop skills through playful and unstructered football rather than organized and focused training.
“When the big clubs gather all the best players at a young age, you see results like 12-0 and 15-0 every weekend. That is not educational for either the winners or the losers. The problem is, that it is meaningless to talk about elite for children under 12, because their needs are totally different from the older children and adults. They need time and space to develop into skilled football players. In my oppinion it is a misunderstanding to think, that you can treat kids as little professionals,” Keld Bordinggaard says.
However, this view on football training for children collides with the Danish elite clubs’ intension of creating potential professional footballers by gathering them at a young age and matching them with other players at their own high level.
Leader of Danish football club AGF’s talent academy Søren Juel feels, that it is important to let the young players compete and that it actually makes them better players.
“I see a lot of interesting initiatives in the report regarding the way of training children. But I disagree heavily with the idea, that everything that has to do with elite sport must be stopped. All this finger pointing at all that’s elitist is just plain wrong,” he says and continues.
“I disagree with the idea, that it’s suddenly forbidden to win. The young boys care about, whether or not they win or lose, and I believe, that winning is a large part of the motivation for them”.
In Keld Bordinggaard’s ideal world of football children below the age of 12 should be protected from focus on results and pressure from both coaches and parents. He compares with the many football talents of Brazil and Holland, who develop their skills through unstructered football for instance in the streets. Furthermore, he points out the paradox of Danish football clubs investing in technically skilled African players, who in many cases have developed their skills through much more playful and experimental forms of football than the Danish clubs practice themselves.
“The elite clubs believe, that they can create skilled players by introducing professional conditions for the talented children at a young age. In my opinion it is a very big mistake to think, that the same principles that work for adults also apply for children,” says Bordinggaaard, who sees a long battle ahead with the Danish football clubs.
“It is going to be very difficult to change the development, because the battle for the best young players is ongoing and continuing. It doesn’t look like the clubs can regulate it themselves,” he says.
And Borddinggard just might be right. Certainly, Søren Juel from AGF is not backing down and withholds that collecting the best young players is for the good of both the players and Danish football.
“We agree that training and playing football should be fun for kids, but still we are not afraid to divide them into levels at the age of ten. We do this, because we believe, that the way to become a better player is to compete with others at the same level. And also our experience is, that the kids find it most fun to play with someone at their own level,” he says.
The battle continues.

Really enjoyed Keld’s talk and think this is a great initiative. The elite club response is sadly predictable as they rarely see the bigger picture - do they not realise you can have some level of competition outside of a structured format or that the reason you start playing is to enjoy it and express yourself ?
Good luck, its something worth fighting for. Is the Report available online as I would really like to read this

Hi Guy. You can find the report here: http://www.dbu.dk/page.aspx?id=3769 but only in a Danish version. I am not aware, if it has been translated into English, but if you contact DBU (The Danish Football Association) through the web site, they should be able to tell you.

Thanks Allan, am on case! Fortuitously met Keld at airport yesterday and discussed some of this with him. Cheers Guy

I read the two divergent opinions. There should be a merging point somehow as playing without result is unmotivating. Also, free intuitive expression on the field of play is geniuslike. Our College , in partnership with an experienced genius Football Coach, is starting a new academy called FINESS Soccer Academy in Ibadan, Nigeria in September, 2008, with an experienced and versatile international coach of repute, a one time Nigerian Chief Coach, Trinidad and Tobago Chief Coach, German trained Grade A Coach, Confederation of African Football (CAF) Instructor, CAF & FIFA Technical Committees’ Member whose coaching certification started from 1961 and is still involved in training Coaches, football administrators and young and matured players. He is Chief Adegboye Onigbinde. It will be a welcome idea if you can be our working international partner in playing tours and coaching programme exchange as in-depth exposure to African cum Danish Soccer cultural exchange in developing tactics and techniques of European and African soccer towards modern day soccer professionalism. I will appreciate your kind response.
