Hello, I am a parent of my daughter's U/9 team and have been asked to coach. I have very little experience coaching (I did some in Vanuatu but that's about it). Could anyone recommend some drills to help spread them out on the field so they're not all running around in one big group after the ball? Thanks!

I will add some practices to the answer below and some ideas for stages of introducing a match The practices drills are for the players to learn the skills required to play the game keep coming back to these as it takes a couple of sessions to improve. The chalk board drawing shows you the stages of playing a match. don`t rush through the stages as again it will take time for the players to learn I hope this will help you Have fun Bram
Keep your distance
DESCRIPTION
4 Players have to pass the ball around the outside of a square of cones in any direction. After a few minutes remove the cones. The players have to now continue passing around, keeping the same distance to each other as if the cones were still there. IMPORTANT: If one player misses the ball all players have to run to where the ball has gone and continue passing, remaining the same distance apart as before.
