what is the off side rule?
Some 11 year olds are joining our team and are moving from 7-a-side to 11-a-side. What should I practice with them to help this transition?
Any drills for teaching young players about offsides and more importantly keeping a good defensive line and moving as a unit
Has anyone found a good drill/video to teach the offside rule??
i want mid and strikers to feel like they can roam anywhere to create space or opportunity. Problem is they are so set in positional play they struggle to think outside square or trust team mates will cover zones
I have a team of u11/12s and only 2 of them have played league football before. We have had several games now and they are getting better but we are running out of drills to do with them... They need to work on: passing, offside rule, possession play. I have struggled most of all because I used to coach at the Bournemouth academy where every player knows what there doing. Any suggestions on what I could do? Massively appreciated thank you!

I run an under 11's team and wondered what formation is best for 9v9. Also any good drills for both attacking and defending regards to off sides
