Currently coaching years six to eight. 40 young lads?

Currently coaching years six to eight. 40 young lads - all keen as mustard but with different skill levels and experience.It would seem best to stream. But I am concerned this creates an elite divide...At this age is it enough to power through core skills e.g passing using slaps, pushes and clip hit exercises or should we be - in spite of numbers trying to coach technique one to one... The enthusiasm is great but so many youngsters need a broader brush approach which is concerning me...

Bram. I have a question on your answer about defending the left channel?

Bram. I have a question on your answer about defending the left channel. Over the years I've heard various different views on how to defend the left channel. You answer suggest forcing the attacker on to the strong side where an inside defender can provide a cover tackle if necessary. Fine. Other rhetoric suggests keeping the attacker wide and restricting the route to goal. For me, your suggestion offers the greatest risk. Can you provide some perspective of these two approaches.

Can someone suggest a really good warm-up drill or exercise to get players thinking/concentrating/making decisions? I.e. something prior to a match, after having done a physical warm-up, dynamic stretches, any SAQ and technical stuff

u10 team selection and playing format

I am coaching u10 BOYS this year for the first time, have only worked with u7-u9's, as I have it there are now 8 players per side. How do I determine which players to play in which positions and what format do I play? Do we have to play with a dedicated goalie or just backs? At this age do I pick the 8 most talented players and slot them in positions or do I pick players according to positions? Hope this makes sense...

I have been using Sportplan now for 3 years and can honestly say that I have never repeated the same session twice. My girls are always focused and are improving every year. Thanks Sportplan.

Debbie Cross Australia

What a fantastic tool. The Chalkboard and session tools make an unbelievable difference in making training plans in both time and organization. I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
