Hi Daniel,

I think the only way you could hope to coach that many players would be:

  1. With help (another young coach, older player or parent to help with the numbers - without them you won't be able to give your players enough feedback).

  2. By dividing your players into groups.

A quick and easy way to manage the numbers would be to split your group in four (three groups of 7 and one group of 8).

Using these smaller, more managable groups you could then look to get your players working on some core skills like passing, possession etc. and at the end of the session you could play a mini-tournament with your 4 groups of players.

Hope this helps,
Alex
