I have just finished my first season coaching under 12's I coach them on Wednesday nights and the manager coaches on Fridays where I assist. When I came to the club at the tail end of last season, the subs were lucky if they got between 2-5 minutes on the pitch. My philosophy has always been to include every member of the team, especially with the role on role of rule.This seemed to work well this season, although one or two of the 'better' players didn't like coming off, but in the last game of the season, the manager had two subs, brought one on at half time and gave the other the last four minutes. ( We had a chance of finishing 4th in the league if results went for us, which they didn't and we ended up 5th) The subs that got 4 minutes was my son, which made it slightly harder for me to drive the point home that we needed to get him on.How do I encourage a philosophy where by everyone plays? because my son has said that if the team 'goes back to the old ways' he will not want to play anymore.
I'm looking for a drill to teach my players to not always drive forward, but rather play the ball back away from pressure to a trailing player.. Any ideas? The players are between 10 and 13 yo.
hallo can i save my plan video on my pc?
I am looking for a session or drills that improve players first touch. Our biggest issues are First Touch so we need to work on this, another issue is the 'second ball' we always win the first header but never get to the second ball quick enough so any help with these issuse would be great!
hi Guys, i have a question about 5-6 year olds getting ready for next year when they start playing their football matches against other teams. i will use my son as an example,so i can use as a guide for some other parents in the team. average training is ball mastery and a trafficlight game and then into matches for the last half of the session. my sons ball mastery is as good as youd expect for a 5 year old and that always improves with repitition. my difficulty lies when we go into the matches. theres a lack of 'competitiveness' or confidence with my boy, compared to some of the other boys, skills-wise theyre on the same level, but the more confident boys will shine thru and theyre not nessesarily better, he has flashes in games where he will do good, drive with the ball, he is always involved, but im not sure if its confidence or maybe just not as good in the match situations. is there any advice that can be offered in terms of practice that we could work on at home?
