Coaching kids about soccer is no rocket science but yes, it requires skill, knowledge, and a lot of patience. The strategies that follow are known to all to teach youth soccer. If you apply them sincerely, you team will come out as a match winner. Encourage learning: You have heard about it many times but what is the correct way to encourage learning? Allow the kids to take their own decisions and even if they falter, relax. This practice allows the players to become more resourceful even as they enjoy the whole process. Give names to all teams: Have the players divided into teams in order to organize the events in a better way. Its also a good idea to name the teams for inculcating a feeling of closeness. Measure success and failures: To coach youth soccer, you must have a definitive yardstick to measure the performance. Take for example a study that reveals how much fun the kids are having during the sessions. Check whether the kids are actually enjoying or just playing. Are the players learning the skill of passing, dribbling, and dealing with the ball? Give rewards: Rewards encourage the new as well as skilled players in the same way. And the rewards can be fairly simple. For example, the team that wins gets a half hour rest or gets to go half-hour early and so on. Also, stay away from rewarding individual acts. This is because soccer is a sport where some players will always outperform others. In its place, reward entire teams efforts. Tackling bad behavior: In teaching soccer, bad behavior of players can negatively affect the entire teams performance if not handled well. Like never ignore a player who fails to reach in time for practice sessions. Send everyone in the team a message by reprimanding him with a simple punishment. This is applicable to the parents as well, few of which have a tendency to interfere in the teams affairs. Control it in time and notify everyone about it. Take charge of the team by making all important decisions. But, involvement of parents to a certain level is also important. Be a leader: Whatever you do is likely to be imitated by your players because a coach is always looked upon as a mentor. So keep your conduct in check. Your behavior should be pleasant and respectful towards the players, colleagues, and opposite teams as well. Make it to the practice ground earlier than the players. While practicing, avoid passing judgments on the players or the referee. Believe me, once you start to apply this to coach youth soccer, your team will reach the pinnacle of success, both in the practice sessions as well as real tournaments.
