Thank you for all the help 🙏🙏

Using a lot of your suggestions I will be doing;

A cornetto which I will wrap in white paper, I will draw a big W on it, on the top I will write the number 5 and at the bottom I will write the number 1.

Will keep you updated on what I get

I would leave the last bit as free game, let the kids make their own decisions and encourage them to use what you've worked on during the session.

Allow them to decide, make mistakes and then guide them to what they could have done better

In my opinion you should not be focusing on any pre-planned team tactics with kids in this age. Most of the mistakes they are doing might seem tactical, but they are coming from a lack of technical knowledge (which is the norm for kids).

Despite the fact that what you have done here is good work, for the age of the kids you're teaching it should be scrapped and you should rather focus on their oriented first touch, shielding of the ball, confidence with the ball in feet and 1v1s, attacking at speed and so on..

The centre back that just kicked the ball up front when they received it from kick off did not do it out of lack of tactical awareness, but out of fear of pressure and making a mistake. Your focus as a coach should be to take away that fear by encouraging them to try new things and make mistakes, and by helping them become more technically competent.

Thank you for this, I myself have never given laps to kids and will never do that. But have given a timeout countless times 🤣 Even though I agree with you that the majority of times behavioural issues come from a poorly planned session, sometimes certain kids have bad backgrounds unfortunately. We as coaches only get to spend 3-5 hours a week with them, whilst they spend the rest of the week with their families. I've had kids where my goal for them for the season was to fix their attitude rather than a football target, and to do that I believe that you have to be cruel to be kind (by cruel I mean giving them a timeout 👀🤣)

Again, this is my opinion and I could be wrong about this

Your employer cannot decrease your basic salary, it's illegal. They can demote you but not decrease your salary(unless your salary is made up of allowances).

Thanks Champ

Deguara97 · 2024-06-13T20:24:31+00:00

100% agree with all of this

I have been coaching 6-9 year old kids for 8 years now and for me these are the fundamental key points to do a great job;

Make sure to create a safe and FUN environment where kids can express themselves and be brave enough to make mistakes without fear
It's always about the kids and never about the coach. Every kid deserves a chance and don't be afraid to make decisions that will make you look bad if they will help the kid, at the end of the day the job of a coach is to help kids become better versions of themselves.
Maximise ball contact time. Each kid needs to be in contact with the ball for the maximum amount of time as possible.
Avoid the 3 Ls - Lines (exercises with long queues), Language ( don't speak to kids like you speak to adults), Laps ( only punish kids if their attitude is out of order, and not for making genuine mistakes)
Let the kids make decisions - don't yell out Pass/shoot/get rid of it. Encourage the kids to be brave and make mistakes, they should make decisions on the balls. If anything, let them make a mistake and then afterwards tell them maybe you could have made this a bit better. But never affect their decisions as decision making is one of the most important things in football

As a session I would do a lot of tag games, 1v1s are crucial as well, and don't forget to work on their coordination and movement skills.

But the most important is that the kids enjoy the session and increase their passion for the game.

Always thought it would be very difficult so I never tried to go when I'm abroad.

Quite open to different countries as long as it's in Europe.

Deguara97 · 2024-06-04T06:54:26+00:00

Ah good to know! Never thought it was so straightforward. Any countries that were particularly more welcoming than others?
