Grassroots coaches…

If you’re running sessions in this heat the same way you do in October, you need to adapt. A lot of these tips go against what we normally say, but can help when its hot 🌞

I really like the Gareth Bale comment that coaches now run the game rather than the players.

Possession practice - teaching players to keep possession then play away from pressure and support #grassrootsfootball #footballcoachinf

Lots of comments about the issues with goals, pitches and facilities in general to facilitate 3v3 at under 7s #grassrootsfootball

[From Grassroots To Greatness @FromGrassroots2]

Why are leagues and coaches rebelling against 3v3, is it to keep adults comfortable rather than prioritising player development?

#3v3 #grassrootsfootball #footballcoaching

[From Grassroots To Greatness @FromGrassroots2]

3v3 isn’t a football decision.
It’s a learning decision.
Adults debate formats.
Kids want involvement.

[From Grassroots To Greatness @FromGrassroots2]

Some U7 players get 5 touches a game in 5v5.

Five.

3v3 exists to increase involvement:
More touches.
More decisions.
More learning.

A lot of players don’t struggle to play forward because of ability.

They struggle because sessions always give them a way out.

This practice removes the safe pass.

If you pass backwards = free kick against.

Watch what it does to scanning, body shape, and decision speed.

[From Grassroots To Greatness @FromGrassroots2]

We’ve redesigned our session plans.

Two new 2-page formats rather than our old long versions.

Same coaching content. Different delivery.

What do you prefer? version 1 or 2? see thread for session plans.

Looking for Step 3-5

[Seb Tidey @SebTideyCoach]

Want to engage players more? Ask them questions. Real ones. Then build your sessions around their answers.

[Seb Tidey @SebTideyCoach]

Want a session that teaches quick decisions & movement off the ball?

Try:
3v3 + 2 floaters
Mini goals
Bonus for wide switch before scoring
Let them play. Then reflect.

Coaches – what’s the one bit of advice you’d give to someone starting out?

[Seb Tidey @SebTideyCoach]

@FootballEra_ football has a lot to do with who you know, so get to know people and think how you come across has always been big with me
