Hi, my name is Marcos Rezende and I'm from Brazil... I was recently appointed director of the youth team of our club.I'm a bit confused here. There is so many videos and links to study !!! I have 4 teams, 9, 11, 13 and 15 years old. Where should I start ??? Is there a default full plan to follow ? Thank you in advance.
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 am looking to add an assistant coach to my team. Will they be able to assist with creating coaching plans with this access, or do they have to have their own membership? We are trying to keep all of our videos and practice plans in a centralized profile, so it would be helpful if they coudl create from my profile as a team member.

How would you encourage your players to start talking to each other during game? This lack of communication at times is a hinderance to their overall play
im taking a coaching session and cant seem to come up with any decent basic drills for passing and controlling could anyone give me an idea
Over the last 12 months i have been trying to make sure that no 2 sessions are the same. We train twice a week and sometimes it takes a while to understand a drill or objective so this led me to thinking would it be better to have a core amount of sessions and repeat over the season ?IF we train 50 sessions per year would it be better to have e.g 10 sessions that we rotate around so that when it comes round again the kids already have an understanding rather than create something new every time ?If i went this way and then further split this to 5 areas to focus on with 2 sessions for each focus i.e keeping possession would this be better than trying to create something new for every single session ? Obviously things would evolve so a session would maybe have something added but to have an amount of core session plans that rotate around over a period of time, is this the more effective way to develop ?
I coach adults using a third of an astro pitch with 1 full size goal and 2 small goals. I often have 16-20 players so space is at a premium. Does anyone have any good drills that will work with the numbers and space available?
I'm just looking for some clever ideas to teach my kids to do during their game. Also I want to teach them smart and clever things they can do during different game situations like corners, free kicks, or goal kicks.

Hi all, I've just started coaching a soccer team of 4 and 5 year olds and would like to discuss with my fellow coaches any drills which you have found to be safe, fun and valuable to the younger age group. I have my level 1 course under my belt and have difficulty in applying what I've learnt to the small kids. They get bored very quickly and are only interested in playing a match at the end of the session. They have no interest in passing the ball or shooting at goal whilst doing drills. Running with the ball is no problem as they are keeping active and all have a ball at their feet. As soon as they line up or have to share a ball, there are problems. I have a variety of drills which I run through with them, traffic lights, robin hood, alamo, sharks and fishes to name a few with variations of each but I crave more as everywhere I search caters for U6 upwards. I coach an U8 side midweek and have no problem with these lads as they are that bit older and have a greater level of concentration. (not by much mind). So I'm asking for advice from anyone who has coached 4 and 5 YOs and would like to know what has worked for you. PM replies welcome. Marc
I'm just starting to coach a newly formed Futsal team of 12-14 yo. Can you suggest the best sessions to build an understanding of basic skills, tactics and how to play as a team.Any thoughts are much appreciated.thanks
Basically, we had a fantastic performance last weekend, and on Saturday we've got training then a team meal straight afterwards, so I need a session where everyone will be included, everyone will enjoy, and everyone will leave with smiles on their faces. The lads love shooting and dribbling, so a session based on fun games including those techniques will be ideal.
I'm doing my FA Level 1 assessment tomorrow and my session is 'see it, do it'. it's a 9 v 4 session where the object of the game is to keep possession of the ball and make runs into space. Any tips on how to make this a fun session? And perhaps any pointers?ThanksNick
