Work out a common objective for the team as well as yourself as a coach, for instance; during soccer practice the players must enjoy the game while they are a part of it. At this point, its important to stay alert or else youll get distracted by other things. Consequently, identify such objectives that are particularly important for you as a coach and also equally important for the team. For example; develop a sense of team spirit and a sporting attitude in your players, help them identify their individual soccer skills, and emphasize on improving their physical fitness. It is your duty to set reasonably high standards for players in relation to sportsmanship. Encourage attitudes like fair play, team spirit, and sportsmanship. There are several objectives important in teaching soccer that can be incorporated in your list along with these. Winning is another important concept that I'd like to emphasize in coaching youth soccer. Try to infuse an open idea of winning the game inside your players minds while training them. Make them understand that so long as their play is up to the mark, they are the winners, irrespective of the final outcome. This ultimately takes away all the unnecessary pressure off the players and enables them to play their original game by carefully following the strategy. In coaching soccer drills, make sure that your instructions are very precise for them to be effective. Before you start coaching your team, educate your players on some specific dos and donts in the game of soccer. The variation between coaching and teaching is prominent because coaching deals with a bunch of players who already play soccer pretty well. In the process of coaching drills, it is nice to first impart 5 to 6 demonstrations about a drill to the kids and then let them practice it themselves. This is because young players generally do not respond to oral instructions very well. If you attempt to explain an action in words, they won't understand it. However, they are good at replicating things. So, as a general rule, demonstrate the skills yourself whenever possible. Last but by no means the least; keep your players active with several purposeful activities. This is more valid if the weather prevents you from having a regular session. You must understand that kids are just thrilled at the prospect of playing in the rain. So, instead of revoking the session, it makes more sense to find alternative ways to let them have fun. Just make sure that in a situation like this, your kids have an extra layer of clothing and proper footwear. Move forward now and start using these tips to your training sessions. The results will make you happy.
