Loads of benefit from this session…
The challenges I've had from this session.
Kids just run the safe zone constantly – smart, but frustrating.
They can't keep score and cause arguments about who's 'winning', even tho I put no emphasis on winning. Tried it without the points and they were not interested.
I smile when I am watching it
It is fun
How do you handle young ones that dont follow the perimeter?
I love working with children
I got scouted for the fa
Love it. Love how you challenged the goalkeeper. Love how you addressed the defenders waiting outside the safe zone!
Love this
Thank you sir for ur knowledge
Just let them play "small sided football". These drills are a waste of time.
how can we ajouter picture at video?
This is good
Where this place… quality training and coaching for kids👍
Love the session! could maybe communicate with a bit more personality especially because they were young. But an amazing session.
Finesse not strengths
Great session
Great coaching
I will be introducing this to my team
Could they not have used stage appropriate balls?
Thanks for sharing. We enjoyed how this session was introduced and progressed.
Clever & subtle, in a fun environment.
