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

Four-goal game
Reproduced by kind permission of the
Burnaby Girls Soccer Club
Review: I've used this
drill many times with my U12 girls team. It encourages them to keep
their heads up, make quick decisions and switch the play quickly. A top drill!
|
 Purpose:
To develop passing and switching play in attack, and cover and
balance in defence.
Procedure: An area approximately 60X60 yards square is used;
four small goals are placed at each corner. Goalkeepers do not play;
each team defends two goals at one end and attacks the other two at
the far end. The players play possession soccer and attempt to 'pull'
the bulk of the defenders over to defend one goal before switching the
ball suddenly towards the less well-guarded goal and trying to score
there.
Development: (a)
Play one- or two-touch soccer. (b) The coach can award extra points
for goals which come directly from the team switching play. |
