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

shooting
from corner kicks
from the NSCAA |
|
Objective
- To develop accurate shooting with both feet, and to gain a simple
understanding of corner kicks for players 6 – 8 years old.

Organization (see above diagram)
- Place balls in corners of playing area.
- Coach rolls ball by foot or by hand.
- Coach shouts "Go!" and player at first cone must go around second
cone.
- Shooting player retrieves own shot then returns to end of line.
- This increases the activity level and also encourages the shooter
not to kick the ball too far, but rather concentrate on the accuracy.
- No goalkeeper, so players practice accurate kicking.
- Change players and cones to opposite side.
- Children leave their ball with the coach on the way back.
- With a large group split into two (with Assistant Coach) and have
one group at one end and one at the other.
Teaching Points
- As players become better, narrow the goal or deliver quicker passes.
- Point out that most shots in illustration will be taken with the
left foot.
- Total concentration: head down, eyes on the ball.
- Encourage accuracy rather than power shooting.
- Use inside of foot - like a hockey stick.
- Encourage players to strive to become "two-footed."
Target
- To record the number of the team's scoring attempts that succeed in
20 shots, and keep score at each practice.
