how to plan a session that keeps them engaged
Hi Margaret,
Here are some tips for engaging U11s:
Keep it Fun: Incorporate games, challenges, and friendly competitions to make the session enjoyable.
Variety is Key: Switch between different activities to keep their attention. Short, focused drills work well.
Positive Reinforcement: Praise effort, improvement, and good sportsmanship. Create a positive and encouraging environment.
Use Imagery and Themes: Incorporate themes or imaginative elements into drills to make them more engaging for younger players.
Short Breaks: Include short breaks to allow players to rest and hydrate, ensuring they stay energized throughout the session.
Inclusive Approach: Ensure that all players, regardless of skill level, feel included and valued.
Adaptability: Be flexible in adjusting activities based on the energy levels and interests of the players.
Hope this helps.
