How to be the best coach in your area:

Recruit the best kids, shout a lot, win plastic trophies & post on social media.

Repeat.

I support the FA’s drive to develop more skilful players and I encourage problem solving, creativity and player ownership in my coaching approach. Please retweet so that we can have more and more days like today England 6-2 IR Iran👍

Remember:

Coaching young players isn't about the score.

Their individual development should be the priority.

HOW TO WIN U13-U17

1. Pick the biggest, fastest, early maturing, January-born players.

2. Kick ball long.

3. Chase it.

How to make soccer unbearable to watch?

See above. 🤕🤣

Belgiums restructure. Early 2000s, 1500 games analysed & some children touched the ball just twice in each half.

New philosophy:
-Let them dribble
-Let them play
-Small sided games, 2v2, 5v5, 8v8
-Player development replaced ranking

Interesting read.

6 months ago, we pulled out 18 of our grassroots youth teams and made our own internal league. I explain why and how it’s been a success 👇

🧵 Children's sport. I've spent the last 2 years watching my own children play Football, Rugby, Cricket & Tennis. Standing back watching them as a father is a very different experience to coaching, teaching or coach development. Here's a summary of my thoughts...

[Coach Scott @memphisunited]

Parental Tryout Advice: Don’t club hop to chase winning. If your kid is in a good atmosphere, is growing as a player/teammate, and, most importantly, is enjoying themselves…DON’T LEAVE!

[ribeiro10 @ribeiromichel10]

For youth coaches ☝🏽 it’s always good to develop en let kids play in 3-4 positions so you give them more options to make it in the future ☝🏽 ⚽️⚽️

As we get towards the end of the season, don’t forget there is no such thing as a “Must win” U11 game….

How did #ENG make it to the @EURO2020 final? What changed many years ago that led to this? Small sided games. Age appropriate instruction. Common sense in the face of opposition. #ENG fans can thank people like @nlevett & @sturge_p for their hard work to change culture their. 👍

[Pete @sturge_p]

Ash, if you develop the individual technique and then that player’s individual tactics - once you start putting these players together something quite special is possible. For Foundation Phase players, staying on the ball is where it all begins. Let’s do it👍

[Pete @sturge_p]

At U9’s? Let the focus be about being exciting on the ball and really hard to beat when the other team has it. Formations/tactics/strategy comes much later. I know teams have to compete in leagues but the focus should still be on the individual and the role they play.
