I run a team of under 9's and although they are not letting many goals in they struggle to score goals could anyone improve this for me.
I coach a team of Under 9 (born 2003). During the last match, one of my teams (they were divided in 2 teams as to play 6-a-side) refused to play against another U/9 opposition (mainly 4 of them), claiming that the other team was older than them. This was really embarassing for me. How should I discipline this participants? My idea was to bring these 4 participants for the next match, but leave them watching the other participants as to get the lesson. Will this help? Tks
Our under 12's have made the jump from 9 a side to 11 a side. We have entered a big city league were results are hard to come by. We play a super 1st half and lose it massively 2nd half, through heads down & fitness. Any suggestions on confidence boosting & training drills to help steady a ship. We are playing a 4 - 2 -3 - 1 formation.Yes we are getting a bit of negativity from the parents to, which does not help. Thank you in advance.
I am taking over a team next season who will be under 10's and I am wanting to bring in a few new players but don't know what will be the best way to trail them and how long I would trail them for. There are many tournaments pre season would that be a good idea. Also what is the best approach with the lads who are not good enough, how do you break it to them
Hi I have a great bunch of under 9's, they are all quite small and light and I want to work on them coming to the pass and receiving it 1st. At the minute they are waiting for it and getting muscled out of a lot of games. Most are very good passers technically but need to increase their awareness and dynamic.
Hello, I am currently coaching an u9's boys team and a majority of them are well behaved and want to play football, but the odd 1or2 tend to mess around at training which distracts the others. I have sat them out in training and spoken to the parents but still this goes on. Do I decide to kick them out of the team altogether or does anyone know the miracle cure to stop this happening?
Please could someone help me out here by providing a few bullet points in order for a session you'd run for under 9's for agility. The lads are of good ability.
Does anybody had make any session based on the topic creating space for yourself to receive the ball ?if yes would it mind sharing it with me ?Yousef Best regards
does any one have any recommendations/advice on how to deal with Under 9's/10's when they play up and become disruptive? I had a session this week where one or 2 individuals made it almost impossible to carry on with the session. Obviously i don't want to cancel a session so looking for ways people have dealt with similar issues.

Hi I coach a under 9 team we are doing ok we play a 1,3,3 system my question is how can I teach the defence to move up when the front three are attacking Asked using Sportplan Mobile App
My Under 9 team keeps starting games slowly. Normally by half time they are just getting switched on and playing like they can. What's a good pre-match warm up to get them switched on and ready to go right from kick off?
Could anybody provide me with any drills to beat a high press from the opposition when we are taking a goal kick, during a under 11 9 aside game. The team is a developing side with very mixed abilities. Our goalies cannot kick the ball far which leads us to lose possession around the 18 yard box.Any ideas would be much appreciated?
How do i set the site for under 9 specific drills.

Disciplining for misbehaviour? 8-11 year olds, they dont really get bored because i know that sometimes that can be the cause. How or what can i apply a bit of strictness into the team.
