make notes to keep track of players and their positions | It's a dilemma all youth soccer coaches face every weekend - how do you organise your team so that all of your players get playing time but at the same time protect the weaker players from being exposed? And there is the practical problem of how to keep track of who's been where and how long they've been on the pitch.Golden rule: get in the habit of writing down what you want to do before you get to the game.Checking a written plan before you actually do anything tells you who is going to be where on the pitch. This will save you from the sinking feeling you will get when you realise that you've put on four defenders and no attackers. It's easier to change a written plan than it is to make another one up. As the players arrive you'll be able to mentally check your plan against the players. So if your star central defender suddenly informs you that they WON'T play in defence anymore or Susie gets a headache you can make a simple adjustment to the written plan. It's easier than making up a new one. You'll have a written record. You'll be walking into the game with documentation. With a few notations you can record what you actually did. This will pay big dividends half way through the season when you're trying to remember who played where and for how long. When everybody shows up you'll be able to give everyone a clear idea about what they'll be doing and when they'll be doing it. Their role in the game shouldn't come as a surprise. You avoid confusion when you get that tug on your sleeve and a little voice says, "Where am I playing?" because you have it written down. You are more likely to have the correct number of players on the field! You'll stop worrying about when to make the next substitution. All of this requires some pre-game preparation on your part. At first it will take a while. But after a few games it becomes routine and very easy to do. I make a written plan every week. It really does make life on the touchline a little bit easier! |
