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

Kick it out

a simple and competitive soccer coaching warm up drill

 

  

Players dribble around the inside of a circle. On command, each player tries to keep possession of her/her own football while trying to kick the other players’ balls out of the circle. The child whose ball is kicked out the fewest number of times in a set period (say, two minutes), wins the game.

 

COACHING POINTS

"Keep your heads up"- Players must always be aware what is happening around them.

"Keep dribbling" - no standing and watching allowed.

"Play the ball" - try not to kick the other players’ legs!

"Use your body to protect the ball" - keep defenders a safe distance away from the ball.
