⚽️ Youth Grassroots Football/Soccer, Coaches and Parents, Let’s Talk Real Coaching 👇🏼

- You can be on a “winning team”… and have a terrible coach.

- You can be on a “low-ability team”… and have an outstanding coach.

- Constantly shouting instructions at kids is NOT coaching, it’s just noise.

- A great coach builds confidence, not just tactics. Kids remember how you made them feel long after they forget the scoreline.

- Winning trophies at 9 years old means nothing if the kids hate coming to training by 12.

- Good coaching = individual development. Every player gets better, not just the “stars.”

- Fun is the foundation. If they’re not smiling, you’re doing it wrong.

- Parents: Stop chasing the “best team” and start chasing the best coach. Your child’s love for the game depends on it.

- Coaches: Lead by example. Your body language, patience & positivity are teaching more than any drill ever will.

- The goal isn’t the next trophy. It��s creating lifelong players who still play at 30… because they still love it.

Youth football isn’t about your ego or the league table. It’s about the kids.

@power_ray Same as @SessionShareNet, if no's allow, dont think you can go far wrong with quickfire 1v1s. Have also used bounce players in games if we have too many for the size of the pitch

[JimD @whitekanu]

@GilesGraeme aye nae bad... one step at a time

[JimD @whitekanu]

@coach_kevin_m Not to try and do too much. Focus or 1 or 2 (at the most) themes. Tried to cram too much in. Sometimes less is more!

[JimD @whitekanu]

@jonerfootball 8yr old playing 11v11 is not what the kid needs at that age. Parents need to be educated if they are pushing. SSG's would be much better. We (Scotland) have U13's go 11v11 this year, at least a year too soon for me but suspect that available facilities is a factor in this?

@AFCspareTickets Looking for 1 adult and 1 u16 ticket
