Consequently, I think it could have a massive impact if it can make its way into the hands of our youth coaches. This should mark the beginning of this country’s rise in football.
Take a look: Coach's Tool Kit -- Stage 01 |
I took a quick look over that as well, and it does look really good. It will be very helpful for the grass roots age where a lot of coaches are hockey dads and don't have a clue how to run a soccer practice. What I would have liked to see on that Coaches Kit (unless I missed it) was age recommendations for each drill though. I've played soccer my whole life and I still struggle trying to find consistent drills for my 6 year olds' team. I've had some serious failures with certain drills that were too advanced for them haha.
