Coaches should continue to strive towards a smaller sided games format at training.

Where 4v4 is chosen over 8v8.

Where 5v5 is chosen over 10v10.

Where ball contact is maximised.

Where goals are plenty.

Where decisions are made under pressure.

Where every child is involved

[Shane Smith @ShaneSmith197]

Regardless of winning medals or trophies, the retention of children on your sports team is a great measure that you're doing things well.

@officialgaa Be great if there was a greater focus on underage players (Go Games) and getting @cnambnaisiunta to play by GAA rules. Whole focus of the past year has been on inter county.

Long day behind the wheel.

We do it for a love you can't really describe.

Traveled on my own.. lonely at times..

Kerry is my first love.. before nearly everything apart from my girls.

Even my wife knows.. Kerry in the soul.

Really interesting thread.

[Shane Smith @ShaneSmith197]

We must continue to strive for smaller sided games

Where 8v8 becomes 4v4

Where 10v10 becomes 5v5

Where no child gets 2 touches a half

Where scoring is frequent

Where ball contact is up

Where they're challenged often

Where improvement occurs

Where enjoyment flourishes

If you watch one thing today, 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 let it be this.

At the launch of the Her Sport Foundation, our founder, Niamh Tallon, shared her "why." She spoke from the heart about her own experience in sport and why she’s determined to make sure history doesn’t repeat itself.

Coaching myth: Children must be able to execute a certain skill by a certain age.

Coaching reality: Children will perform a certain skill when they're ready.

[Sean Hegarty @SeanHegarty1]

@ShaneSmith197 @cnambnaisiunta not competitions where kids are left in school

[Shane Smith @ShaneSmith197]

If you don't give equal game time & opportunity to ALL players at u9, u10 or u11, you might not have a team for ANY players by u13, u14 or u15.

Think long term development over short term success.

By developing the large majority & not just a small minority. Future vision.

Pyramid of technique development for youth soccer players. This is applicable for players who are in their basic technique development phase, before moving onto higher-level intermediate & advanced skills.
This also helps the coach stay focused on reinforcing the fundamentals during games and a good diagram to explain this to parents.
Most of a soccer game (90%?) is a sequence of events of Dribbling, Passing, and First Touch. Then shooting when you get within scoring range.

[Thomas Niblock @thomasniblock]

So a week after Crossmaglen lost one of their best, my own parish is dealing with the same illness. Tony Fitzpatrick is the best of us, a beautiful, positive kid. He needs specialist treatment to save his life. If you can, it could save our wee hero 🙏🏼

From Michael Calvin's book, No hunger in Paradise. 0.012% equates to 1 in 8333.

Reaching elitism should not be the only barometer of success, across any sport.

Developing well rounded individuals with good values, attitudes, character & life skills is also very much success.
