I have justed started coaching an under 8 team that plays 5-a-side, as is normal with small kids the tendency is to follow the ball around like sheep. How do I get then to maintain their positions and move as a unit? What drills would be useful to teach positional awareness and team play?thanks
Hi Armeet,
Here are some links and past answers I found with the search bar. I hope they help!
Vary the games, you don't always need goals as they can be like a magnet for players and can distract them away from what you are coaching, also use games where children hold the ball, they are great for developing spatial awareness.
