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

all-up and all-back

helps develops compact team play

thanks to the Burnaby Girls for this football coaching drill

Procedure: In an area approximately 60X40 yards, with portable goals on the end lines and a half-way line marked on the area, two teams play soccer with the following condition of play: for a goal to count, the entire team must be over the half-way line and into the opponents' half of the area when the final header or shot is struck.

football coaching - all up and back

Development: A team can be awarded two goals if they score with their players over the half-way line and if they catch 'stragglers' from the opposition who have not managed to get back into their defensive half of the area when the goal is scored. Attackers who cannot get back are punished by a free-kick being given to the opposition from the point at which they were caught.
