Coaching U6 Team

Jampip

I'm coaching a local boys U6 football team. Just getting them to learn the basics at the minute. I was wondering if anyone had links or could point me towards some online reference material?

I have some set games we've been doing with them but wanted to try and get some new stuff to mix up the sessions a bit.

There is a need to do a lot less actual football with this age group and just make sure they are able to move properly through fun activities
hopping, skipping, jumping, landing, catching, throwing, kicking

the football can be slowly introduced as the year goes on.
but always make sure they play a game.
as small sided teams as possible 3v3, 4v4 etc

Small groups to 1 mentor ( maybe 5/6 to 1 ratio) NB NB NB
Even now get them used to using both feet for kicking, I know that may be hard but really worth trying.
Set up 3 or 4 different games/exercises and rotate during the session.
Try to have as many football's as possible, 1 per child would be great ( not always an option)
Encouragement is huge.


Here's a few sites you can scour through
