I coach an under 12s team and although in training we do lots of passing and shooting drills, using both feet, when it comes to a game situation (in training or on Sunday) they all go back to only kicking using their stronger foot.
Was thinking of putting two kids in coloured bibs and having other kids in the group pass the ball between each other , the coach then calls out a colour and the kid in possession passes to the coloured bib
I have 3 players at under 14 level, that seem to think running with the ball and not passing is the best way forward, could anybody suggest how I might get round this.
