Football: third

Hello all! My kids aged 9 and 7 are very slow when compared to their peers of the same age. They don't seem to fight for the ball and get and watch others play their game. They seem to lack the urgency (heart) needed for the game. (They LOVE football). How can make them move around and react faster. Any help you are able to provide is greatly appreciated. Thanks O

Hi I have quite a large squad (11) for my U9s team. Sometimes not all of them turn up but when they do managing the substitutions can be a nightmare. Have tried planning it out and making 3 subs on a rotation every 6 or 7 minutes. This works OK, just wondered how others do it? Thanks! Asked using Sportplan Mobile App

We have three teams of U8 that play in different leagues all with different skill levels. Is it better to train the three teams seperately so they bond and play as a team or would you swap players around each week.which could mean a league 5 player playing in league 2. Could this knock his confidence?

Hi has anyone got a good warm up routine for a under 18 team before a match?

During a match, my team seem to stand back and let the other team take control. Is there anyway I can get them to be first to the ball and compete to win?

can u suggest warm ups before training and how long between drills thanx

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

Need a plan to get my U21s to attack spaces in opposition half rather than over passing. opposition are just defending in numbers and blocking play.

I coach adults using a third of an astro pitch with 1 full size goal and 2 small goals. I often have 16-20 players so space is at a premium. Does anyone have any good drills that will work with the numbers and space available?

How can i nip it in the butt when the players are just messing around when they should be listening during practice, dont want to shout at because ill lose all respect from them? Asked using Sportplan Mobile App

Is there a recommended order to teach drills? For example, if teaching dribbling, which drill would I teach first and then second, third etc. This is for inexperienced 9 year olds.

Recommendations teaching 4-4-2 formation to 12-14 yr olds in short time frame.

U13's Girls Pass and Movehow do you bring spatial awareness into play so the players are not just passing to whoever they see, at times putting the receiving player in a no-win position

is there one for a 3 person crossing drill ?

Team keep getting thrashed every week - where to start? Having been the sole coach/manager of a little league team for the past two years, this year I lost all my senior players. I was therefore presented with 10 brand new lads, some of whom have never played competitive football. We are 8 games in and my lads are getting thrashed every week. The main problems are that they cannot get the ball out of their half, positions are usually a mess, finishing and chance creation are non-existent, and they don't apply any pressure or are unable to tackle. The main problems are keeping the ball as a team, getting it in the opponents half and staying there, and creating/finishing chances. I only have 1 and a half hours a week with them. I don't really know what to do, and I'm a little desperate. Does anybody have any advice? Thanks for literally anything.
