Let our kids shine in youth football/soccer! Expression fuels creativity, confidence and love for the game. As coaches, we must nurture their individuality, not stifle it. Encourage flair, celebrate unique skills and watch them grow into bold, passionate players!

Grassroots football/soccer is the heart of the game! Where kids play for fun, learn skills, build friendships and make memories in local clubs or schools. Too many youth grassroots coaches forget this isn’t the professional football, this is kids playing football! ⚽

Football/Soccer Coaches, Stop restricting players actions in certain areas of the pitch! Every situation on the pitch is unique with multiple solutions. Let players adapt, create and solve problems freely.

Youth Football/Soccer Coaches, Don’t forget the little moments⚽️✨👇🏼
Cherish the laughs during water breaks, the high-fives after a great pass, the celebration dances after a goal and the quiet chats when a player needs a boost. These moments build bonds and love for the game! ⚽️❤️

Football/Soccer Coaches, Stop trying to make your training session look “pretty” and “perfect”.
The game isn’t! It may look cool but it needs to translate to the game and benefit the individuals you are coaching.

Stop labeling young children!⚽ Too many youth football/soccer coaches & parents try to predict children’s futures based on early performance. It's unrealistic & unfair. Children develop at different paces—let them play, grow & find their passion without the labels or predictions!

Dynamic stretching for 6, 7 or 8 year olds in youth football warm-ups? Science says it’s overrated. Kids muscles are naturally flexible, with little evidence of injury prevention or performance boosts. Keep it fun & effective: use ball mastery activities or coordination games like tag with a ball! ⚽️

At this weekend's tournament, I kept hearing sidelines yell, “Boot it!” or “Clear it!” 🤔 If a player won the ball in the attacking third and just smashed it out of play, would the coach/parents clap or moan about losing possession? 🤦♂️ #YouthSoccer #Coaching #Soccer #YouthFootball #Football
