Football: making

I coach an under 12s team and although in training we do lots of passing and shooting drills, using both feet, when it comes to a game situation (in training or on Sunday) they all go back to only kicking using their stronger foot.

Every time my get the ball they will always kick it long and give straight to the time where as they need to gert it and pass. Can any one help?

Team keep getting thrashed every week - where to start? Having been the sole coach/manager of a little league team for the past two years, this year I lost all my senior players. I was therefore presented with 10 brand new lads, some of whom have never played competitive football. We are 8 games in and my lads are getting thrashed every week. The main problems are that they cannot get the ball out of their half, positions are usually a mess, finishing and chance creation are non-existent, and they don't apply any pressure or are unable to tackle. The main problems are keeping the ball as a team, getting it in the opponents half and staying there, and creating/finishing chances. I only have 1 and a half hours a week with them. I don't really know what to do, and I'm a little desperate. Does anybody have any advice? Thanks for literally anything.

I have a fantastic group of U12's (9 a side), who I encourage to play with the ball on the floor, quick passing football. We are a very attacking minded team, but that is our weakness - we need to remember that we do not have 8 strikers.Does anybody have any drills or tips for making sure that midfielders remember midfield?

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?

I need some advice on decision making drills, passing shooting etc! my team are forever making wrong choice of pass or when to shoot or not to shoot!?cheersJames

...where it will list and describe playing terminology such as shave, tackle-back, steal, forehand.

hi, my players are a bit too nice on the pitch and don't get stuck in enough.How can i change them to be more competitive on the pitch?

I started coaching about year ago in local club with solid youth base. Some of the sessions I run by myself and I want to encourage decision making and creativity in midfield. My goal is to make at least one or two players who will be very good with ball in their feet and who will make others better, simply playmakers. I am trying that with some talk in and after training beside some drills and SSG's. Can you share with me some advices how to succed in that?

At home he is very good at everything but he doesn't get involved as much when matches are on. Is there any way of coaxing him to shoot and do what he does at home?

I need drills to help 2 goalkeepers with decision making. Thanks

How do I make one of my images larger (like making a cone larger)

Hello, I have recently began coaching for a new club but their is a language barrier between some of the players and myself so they find it difficult to follow instructions. What methods of communication or drills can I use to overcome this? Thank you for your help. Harry

Does anyone know any good defending drills not for a team but for an individual it has been hard to find any drills other than the basics of defending and some ones to do with jockeying and body positioning.

Give me a progression for shooting
