hi i need some help with my u10,s we have a real problem defending the second ball we stop the first attack then give up the ball or dont controll it lose the ball then it ends up in the net.is there any drill i can do with them that might help us combat this problem.thanks

My U10's wont tackle hard enough? I coach an U10's team and the problem I have is that they are too nice! Any suggestions how I can get them to show a little more aggression, especially in tackles without turning them into bullies/thugs?

Thinking of buying my U10's a chocolate Christmas selection box each to give to them after their last game of the year (13th Dec). Is this appropriate? Thanks

Does anyone have any good warm up exercises to do with u10 teams that involve a ball?

Hello all am fairly new coach this is my first season coaching u10 team an currently having trouble managing behaviour anyone got any advice for reigning in trouble makers

I'm involved in an U9 team at the moment where we have 4 Level 1 FA coaches involved and the squad size is limited to 9. My question is how many is enough and how many is too many? I'm having this debate at the moment and although it looks good sometimes the kids have multiple instructions from around the pitch.

→Hi, looking for a drill for my team to close down the opposition especially from the midfieeld but can't seem to find one. Could you please help?

My daughter players for a local U10 girls team as a defender but requires some extra training at home. Any good tips for practising in the garden with me.

We are looking at continuing from U5's with largely the same squad to now bring in a more fun element to the drills - Some serious but sometimes we just need to mix it up with a few games

I’m looking for good basic drills to use for U10’s to use, beginner level.Thanks in advance Asked using Sportplan Mobile App

Hi does anyone have any good fitness drills for some of my U10 kids please

Hi all, due to lack of recruits I only have 9 players this season for my 9 a-side U10 boys team. I have tried very hard looking for recruits but no luck....so far. My season is starting and I have to work with what I have. I just want to see what tips do you have for me? What can I focus on to ensure this is not too much of an disadvantage!

Maybe I worded this title wrongly, but I coach a U10 boys team that has some very good players; however, I am having trouble when it comes to how to coach them to continue after the ball immediately after a challenge. Example: my forward is attacking and becomes engaged by a defender. Defender is attempting to kick ball away, but my forward is able to maintain "possession" and play the ball away from the defender into space BUT he fails to aggressively follow onto the ball as it is not in his immediate possession. Another defender will run onto the ball and gain possession. I understand that part of this is just the "hustle," but I was wondering if anyone has any specific drills to help combat this mentality? Thanks!

Disciplining for misbehaviour? 8-11 year olds, they dont really get bored because i know that sometimes that can be the cause. How or what can i apply a bit of strictness into the team.

every game we play the team always bunch up leaving space on the pitch, is there any session or drill i can do that will get them to space out on the pitch ?i coach u10 girls team
