Great video full of really useful information! Thanks for taking time to make these videos. I have enjoyed them all.
Glad you like them! Share with your other coaches please!
I am newer to the coaching world, 3 seasons in now with YDP in my town.your videos have been helping me a bit with my u10 girls team thank you. I have read about half those books you have listed in will certainly check out the rest.
I have a question, i have a u10 girls team that is really good at playing in their formation and passing bit as soon as they play a team that clusters and runs at them they completely break down. How would you address this? To essentially not fear 5 people running straight at them? Not sire if that is the best way to put it, but any advice helps. Thanks
Excellent question! What I usually ask my team is that if they move the ball a little quicker, can the clump keep up? Sometimes I'll stage a "race" - one player with a ball, one right next to them, and one player 10 yards away. When the "race" starts, I tell the player with the ball to pass it while the other player sprints to the other person. Obviously (to you and I) the ball always wins that race, but it's an important lesson for them to learn.
Being brave enough (use that term) for your team to play the ball backwards/sideways to avoid the rugby scrum is the solution - you move the ball back and across to the other side when blocked with a wall and make them chase. You do this for a while and soon enough they stop chasing!
Lastly, set up that condition in practice for them to get used to that sort of pressure - (tell your kids you do NOT want them to do this in a game!), but set up a possession drill where you send 3 or 4 players towards the ball - your team will learn to be comfortable with that pressure (you and I might find pressure starts at 4 feet, but your players probably feel it at 10-20 feet sometimes!) - doing this will help them understand how much time they actually have to make a pass, and will slowly reduce the panic kicking that happens.
I have a video from my town channel that specifically highlights this from game footage - we played a "rugby" team, and had to solve the same issue. th-cam.com/video/CSYa4RZitXk/w-d-xo.html
@@SoccerCoachKW this is great information! Thank you so much for the response and feedback. I will use these examples immediately my next session. I will also check out the video. Thank you again coach!
Thanks Coach KW, really good video. Do you have any experience or thoughts on some of the paid online 7v7 courses such as those offered by TOVO, APFC, or 3Four3?
I took a quick look - not sure I’m paying that for an online course- for that much you could take seven in person licenses courses in your state!
@@SoccerCoachKW Perhaps the USSF courses are better in MASS, but I've learned more about7v7 soccer for 3four3 than I have from up to the USSF C course. I want to check out TOVO and APFC eventually. You are really knowledgeable on 7v7, so I thought you might have learned from some of those courses.
I’m glad they worked for you. In truth I’m not a huge fan of some of what USSF does, and I’d rather United Soccer Coaches courses, but if your organization wants a legit license, USSF is the only game in town.
If you have a C, it’s concerning that you’re learning stuff from me! That’s not a reflection on you - it’s part of the issue with the USSF curriculum!
The D license where I am from didn't spend a whole lot of time on 7v7 and the C license is strictly a 11v11 course. Plus the USSF courses are very instructor dependent. One of my instructors hated rondos for instance which I find to be extremely useful. Do you have the USC National Youth Diploma? That seems to be a 7v7 course.
I do not have the Youth National as it hasn't been offered in the Northeast recently in a time and place that I could manage. I agree on the USSF weaknesses about the instructor - at least in MA, they are usually team taught, so no 1 instructor can influence the discussion - most I've taken or seen have at least 2, and sometimes 3.
I have to comment on the rondo thing - I know I've heard that before - I think their objection is it's not directional in the "standard" sense - and I get that, but it's not hard to make a rondo directional to satisfy the USSF philosophy without pooping all over the idea of a rondo!
