👀 WHO’S BEHIND YOU? Play this game with the children you coach to help improve their awareness!
This is a fun and simple way to get children into the habit of checking their shoulders during a session.
Explain to them that at any point, you might shout, “Who’s behind you?” Without looking in that moment, they must tell you who or what is behind them!
This encourages players to regularly scan their surroundings, improving their awareness of space, teammates, and opponents.
The more they play this game, the more checking their shoulders becomes second nature – a crucial habit for developing awareness!
Try it at your next session and follow @CoachJonnyFFF for more coaching tips!

Yes! but also teach proper positioning, a lot of time in youth I see kids that stand forwards towards the opposite goal (when out of possession) and it’s important to teach kids to be facing their view towards the ball even when it’s in their own half and adjusting their body to it as well as constantly checking surroundings
