soccer coaching and pre-school
children - what to expect
Coaching pre-school, (i.e., under
six), children is a lot of fun! Their enthusiasm knows no bounds, they will turn
up for practice in the most severe weather conditions imaginable and they smile
all the time!!
Developmentally, however, they are
very different from children who are just two or three years older.
For example:
-
Most of your
players will cry immediately when they get hurt. Some cry even when they are not
hurt,
-
No matter how
loud you shout, or how much they "practice" it, they can not or will not pass
the football,
-
Somebody will
come off the field in need of a toilet. Somebody will stay on the field when
they should be going to the toilet!
-
The only
player to hold a position is the goalkeeper (if you play with
one.) Don't even consider teaching positional play,
-
Twenty
seconds after the start of a game, every player will be within 5 yards of
the ball.
-
Several
players will slap at the ball with their hands, or pick it up. Several
parents will yell at them not to do that.
-
A model
rocket that is launched from a nearby field will get 99% of the player's
attention. By all means, stop whatever you are doing and watch for a couple of
minutes.
-
During a
season, you will end up tying at least 40 to 50 shoelaces
-
They will do
something that is very funny. Make sure that you laugh.
