When your kids are young, somewhere between 4 to 6 years of age, what works best is to have them play in small sided soccer like a 3 v 3 or a 4 v 4 not including the goalies. As the kids grow, you can make them play a 5 v 5 with a goalie. There are countless benefits. As a result, kids have a lot of fun, make maximum contacts with the ball, and learn the ideas better. At this tender age, the kids are just about learning to control and pass the ball. You can start training them on positions and formations also. It is a good time to designate players as forwards and defenders. You should also ensure that they get to their positions as much as possible. At some point in time, the number of players will increase along with the size of the field. Then it becomes a little tricky to create formations. However, you must still allot the players different positions and make sure that they are honestly working on playing from those positions. When youve chosen the formations, you must chat about it with the players. They must be made to understand the idea behind it and the reason that makes one particular player suitable for a particular position that any other player. For this reason, a soccer field diagram is very handy. Kids learn better by looking at visual representations. Also, there are players who learn better on field by way of observing to while performing drills or by going through the written text. There are some general policies and soccer tactics that should be adhered to for every soccer position such as defenders, midfielders, and forwards. These guidelines form the basis of a 2- 2-2 formation in a 7 v 7 game. These directives are broad but you can modify them to suit your plans for the team. As an example, you may decide on 3 midfielders instead of 2. You may use your center midfielder to attack furiously on offence or require that he marks the opponent midfielders on defense. You may wish your wing defenders to take all throw-ins. There can be a lot of differences. In addition to the field diagram, it always pays to pen down your thoughts on paper. This gives the kids an opportunity to go through the instructions at their own pace which improves their understanding a great deal. The parents can also glance through it and get to know your views and goals for the team and individual players. Teach soccer positions with the help of field diagrams doesn't matter what else you choose to do. This can help you save on a lot of time and energy required to explain formations and is therefore a great mechanism. What are you waiting for?
