I will preface this by stating I have never coached, but with regard to getting the kids some positional awareness canyou line mark out the 8v8 areas? I suggest this because you could essentially limit them in the same way as kids are in net ball, 2 players from each team allowed to be in the defensive 3rd, 2 players from each teamin the offensive 3rd, 4 players from each team in the transitional 3rd. Each team has 1 player who is allowed to roam the whole field and the ball must be passed not carried from 1 zone to the next. There are probably some better suggestions but that may help your players to understand why positioning on the field is so important. What do you think about the FourFourTwo blog And we're off....? So our development squad season has begun and we're 3 weeks in to our season although the kids haven't started playing club football yet for another 2-3 weeks.
The first thing that has struck me - ap...Have your say.
The thing about football - the important thing about football - is its not just about football.
