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

Procedure
A large circle approximately 50 yards in diameter is marked around the
centre circle with cones. One attacker is restricted to the area inside
the centre circle, while his colleagues play six versus three soccer in
the outer area.The six attackers play possession soccer and try to finish
with a pass to the colleague inside the circle; the three defenders work
to prevent them doing this. The defenders can run across and through the
inner circle; however, they are not allowed to stop and intercept passes
inside this area. Players change over after a set time period.
Development
(a) Initially, do not allow attackers to play the ball above knee-height,
but as defenders improve withdraw this restriction. (b) Add more or fewer
players, depending on the success of the game. (c) Time each trio of
defenders for a given period: the group which concedes the least number of
passes wins the game. |
