footy4kids can teach you how eo juggle a ball!

"footy4kids patches have inspired my team of U9s to be much better players.

The difference in everyone’s play is amazing.

When I started the season... most of the kids were lethargic, unexcited, and bored....the patches arrived in time for the first match....you'd would think I was passing out £10 notes after the game!

All the kids are very proud of the patches they have earned, and can tell everyone how they earned each patch." Craig

the crossing game

a youth soccer coaching drill that works on all aspects of the game but especially crossing, transition, shooting and teamwork.

from USYouthSoccer.org

The players should organize themselves into groups of four to play 4v4. The training grid is 40 yards long by 30 yards wide. Corner flags or tall cones should be used for goals and disc cones to mark the corners of the grid. The goals are set up diagonally from one another and ten yards in from the goal line.

Players can score from either side of the goal and the game doesn’t stop after a goal is scored. Play a normal 4v4 match except for goals being scored from either side of the goal. Because of the angled goals there will be more crosses into areas in front of the goalmouth. Many goals can be scored under match conditions in a short time period. Teamwork in preparation of attack and defence will improve

This activity promotes group movement (tactic) and involves transition. The techniques of dribbling, passing, receiving, shooting, heading, tackling and crossing will have the chance to emerge. As a bonus fitness will also improve in a fun and competitive fashion.
