Will the simple and choice reaction time experiment be available today or tomorrow? Thanks

I read somewhere they are loooing at 11v11 starting at u15.
U7-8 4v4, u9-10 5v5, u11-12 7v7, u13-14 9v9.

Would like to give that a read.

Make it enjoyable. Kids come to have fun and play with friends, not stand in lines doing the same thing over and over.
Have a laugh with your kids, make coming to practice a fun experience - they should want to come back!

Have some evidence-based beliefs. I am an Eco Dynamics guy, so all my coaching is underpinned by its central tenets. My practices look quite different to other coaches, but I ignore the noise and stick to what I believe in. Your beliefs should hold up when questioned, if not change your beliefs!

Let them play. Most of your practice time should be doing something that resembles the sport they signed up for. 1v1, 2v1, 3v2, 5v5 are all great, kids love them and they will learn more game relevant skills.
Remember in those activities they are learning to dribble, pass and shoot too!

Use your feedback wisely. You don’t have to narrate the drill, quality feedback at the right time is more valuable that lots of surface level feedback.
Catch them being good, don’t be so focused on correcting mistakes - encourage them to look for different solutions. When they do it well tell them!

2. Set problems, don’t insist on certain solutions. Provide opportunities for your players to problem solve and make decisions. By setting problems they can explore multiple ways to solve it - some may work others will not - that’s learning.

1. Coach for the people on the field (players) not parents. Prescribed, rhythmical, repetitive passing patterns may look good to parents - but they don’t matter as much as your players.

Nice touch!!

That looks eerily familiar. Surely some sort of copyright infringement!! 😂

Whatever it was Nick I love it!!! They have been guilty for years - shown by Der Speigel article how they were cheating finances to support their excessive purchases and wages.

Oh I feel ya! Principle based theme works best for my group over several weeks.

I hope this helps! 👍🏻
1. Stop holding cones up for players to name
2. Stop making players check shoulder for no reason
3. Stop prescribing repetitive single solutions

Incentivize scoring
1pt for ball through river
3pts for connecting through Att players in river.
First team with 10pts against has to do a forfeit.

Example 2
I play over the river groups 4s or 5s, where two of the receiving team must be in the river with 2 defenders (penetration preventers!) to play through the river.
This creates a 4v2, 2v2 in river and 2 receivers. Once played through 2 Att in river join their team.

E.g.
receive pass, play back
Scan for def behind who chooses a target player (to block passing lane)
Receive 3rd pass and turn/pass based on info you picked up from scan
Can add a 3rd def option, pressing the central receiver, which they should simply play the ball back.
