@@tomisina7144 thank you Tom! Really appreciate that. The reason I make this content is because I couldn’t believe how much important information was missing from coaching courses. Thank you for taking the time out to write a comment, it keeps me wanting to make more videos ❤️
Its sad when I come here and always see the comment of "you talk to much"..... Obviously this is a cut video from at least an hour practice. Secondly, if all kids had to do was to play the game and they would be great, then why isn't the amount of youth players who go pro higher? It obviously isn't that simple. Coach, fantastic job. I think you do a great job interacting with the kids and explaining it on their level.
Thanks for the feedback and understanding the process we go through! Parents want their child to develop quickly and Effectively, if just letting them play was the best way for it to happen then grassroots football and the playground would produce the best players.
Absolutely spot on. You always have to model, explain, and slow down a drill the first time (maybe even the first few times) you do something. It's not just for the kids doing the drill either. He's explaining to the viewers the logic behind every movement so that they can look for the little things that make the difference. The little details make all the difference in games. As a coach, I have lost important games because I didn't emphasize the small mistakes the players were committing during the drills and corrected them on time. It was so obvious to me during the important games that I didn't spend enough time trying to perfect the drills, because those are the mistakes that cost us the games. Thank you @CatalanSoccer and keep up the great work.
This is possibly the best coaching video I have seen on this platform. Every step by step part of the process carefully explained in a way kids (and coaches) can understand, then backed up with a walk through of the excercise before increasing pace and difficulty with each phase of the training, which are all interlinked 🔥
Bournemouth shots fired. 🤣 Any one can critique or say they would teach it differently, but they rarely have the courage to show their work. Loved the video.
Absolutely love the progression of exercises building upon the previous one until it becomes game speed and game related. Huge fan of your process and connection with the kids!
Great Video. Perfect rapport with the players highlighting the importance of fine details which have huge impact, especially if your working the way up the pyramid. 👏👏👏
Great video with Simple explanations. My 9yo has just taken up an interest in football. So I did what any dad would do and dived down the TH-cam rabbit hole for drills to help him improve. I started playing when I was 16yo and was a goalkeeper, so I never really learned a lot of the fundamentals. Absolutely love this game and hoping he'll stick with it🤞. Love how you make the drills fun and challenging at the same time.
@CatalanSoccer you have no idea how many videos I've already added to a Playlist. Also, saved your video on teaching how to tackle as I noticed that at their age they really do shy away from contact. I like the drills you had to introduce them to making contact and not taking contact. Awesome channel. Has me reliving my love of the game in a whole different way. Random I use to be a personal trainer and my dream job growing up was working in strength and conditioning with football athletes.
Thoroughly enjoyaable and a brilliant progression through the drills. Your enthusiasm shines through in all the sessions you do that i have watched. Happy to confirm that i use your ideas as the basis of sessions i do with my Ladies walking football group. Keep up the great work; its fascinating.
Thanks Ian! So kind of you to take the time to feedback on the video. I’ve worked really hard to be engaging and captivating to kids so that my coaching sticks with them in all their other football. Really pleased to hear it’s helping you too!
I would like to ask if you think that before doing this type of session, would you say that it is better to teach the types of passes there is? I have U11 they are a bit late on development for the age, and so far me and my m8 have been putting some work on the basics but, watching this made me ask that question, might be quite an obvious answer but im taking my coaching license and weird enough they dont touch that part. Brilliant session btw, love your energy.
Thanks for the feedback and comment! Unfortunately they don’t touch on stuff like this, I created this channel because it felt like the coaching courses don’t give much information on this stuff! Yes coaching the different options of passes, the context of when to use each one and the technique to play each pass is what makes kids really master passing!
@@CatalanSoccer guess what, kids learning by playing. Your are take yourself to serious. It’s not you playing the leading role. Of you are there to watch the kids play in the first place. That’s what they do in Barcelona, Catalonia, where you’ve obviously never been. Best the small sided game or exercise help the kids solving the problems. The children are tired of being taught. They got it all day long in school. You are not helping me learn by talking much. I learn by watching the drills.
@Aelbereth yes kids learn by playing, they don’t learn by making the same mistakes over and over again without guidance on what the mistake is, how to avoid it and how to improve. Thinking playing the game is the only way to learn is so narrow minded. Even professional players who are already experienced still listen to their coaches and learn through talking. If kids only learn by playing, then playing in the street would produce professionals. These kids are learning. What football is, how to play, how to adapt to different situations. If you don’t agree with that then why are you on TH-cam watching coaching videos? Surely you could make your own videos of you standing and watching kids play without talking to them. Our research visits to Barcelona, Espanyol & Girona gave us a very different experience to what you’re saying. But you stay on your coaching journey and we will stay on ours. We don’t claim to be the best coaches, we have methods that work for us and like to share them with other coaches. Feel free to watch someone else.
this is an excellent drill! I love the multiple facets of control and paying attention.
I’m a 29 year old man, and im learning as much as these kids! Really great content dude

This was a FANTASTIC instructional video session. Really well shot and the audio was perfect. Good tone with the kids and positive.
Thanks so much! ❤️

Someone who gets it! It’s a session for the kids and the coaches watching! Thank you for the support!
Well done. Emphasizes communication, touches, teamwork, passing, heads up, vision, some pressure too

Thank you so much! Hopefully the rest of our channel helps you with more topics!
I watched a couple of videos of you recently and I find it amazing how you explain things to the kids. Really, really good.
Wow! Thanks so much for the kind feedback!
Thanks, trying grassroot to make understand, they can do

Haha first team that sprung to mind but I felt harsh after 😂
Thank you, really appreciate you!
Ye he's done a good job there... good info. Good examples and good flow.
@dannygaskin5806 thanks mate!
Absolutely love the progression of exercises building upon the previous one until it becomes game speed and game related. Huge fan of your process and connection with the kids!
Thanks Chris! I like to think of it as scaffolding. Build from the bottom but every next step relies on and reminds them of the previous step!
Dont waste touches, but take them when you need. Excellent and simple explanation.
Thanks a lot!
Great stuff, coach. Thank you!

@@CatalanSoccer Thanks, i appreciate that you took time to answer, i have some fun exercises in mind already.
Once again thanks! :)
Man I wish I could deliver that session to my u13 girls team.
Give it a try yourself Dean!
Brilliant session coach 👏 out of interest what age group are you training?
This particular group is 7-9 year olds! Thank you for the feedback!
@@CatalanSoccer they listen better than my U12s lol
@@maxwellmeyer6482 yup, mine too 😂
@emilioaita5104 there’s videos on our channel to help get kids listening better! Check them out!
Good work. How old are these kids
Youngest is 7 and the oldest is 9!
Hi How we can contact you please as my son follow you and he need to joining you sessions
Email me! Inbox@catalansoccer.com
I like your coaching style
When i watch my nearest football academy and i watch your video.then i realised they are bullsit
Ouch! 😂 send them some links to our videos! 👌🏻
@@CatalanSoccer definately I learn many things from your video
A very good drill imo but way too much talk, sorry. Let the kids play.
These are clips to help coaches learn, the video is taken from a full hour of kids playing. We are there to teach, not just watch the kids play.
If you coach long enough you know games are for letting the kids play. Practice is the time to teach.
@michaelschlueter6162 and a good blend of both is always the best way 👌🏻
