Hey coach! Is this you?

"I have one child on my U6 team who regularly misbehaves even with his parents around...

I had a couple of heart to hearts with him, but that didn't seem to help much.

Then I started giving footy4kids patches... He earned one for bravery at the last game for getting up so quickly after falls. I had told him that he would get something for that. He was so excited. After I gave the patches out..I told him about a special patch he could earn for listening and following directions. We worked on a couple more practice games, he listened, did what he was told and said: "I've followed directions!" I gave him a gold star.

It is amazing what a little thing like a patch can do." Lee

develop team tactical awareness while practicing defending and attacking skills.

6 goal game

The Game

2 even teams. Each team defends their 3 goals, and tries to score in the opponents 3 goals. The team with most goals wins.

Coaching Points

Attack:

Vision, recognizing where pressure is coming from.

Possession / penetration decisions.

Switching the point of attack.

Defence:

Pressure , cover, balance.

Defending zonally since the 3 goals force a team to defend 'numbers down'.

Immediate counter attack when ball is won.

Try These Variations

Dribble through the goals instead of passing. (Make goals 10 yds.wide)
Goals must come off a 'one touch'
Limit attackers to '2 touches'
