One way I found to be really useful with the interventions is to give instructions once and try and figure out concise messages (2-4 words!), that you will then use to remind the players during the practice or game. This way you don't have to stop the action, but you can activate their memory and perception skills to focus on the theme we're practicing

Some good tips, but I partially disagree on letting parents shout any instructions whatsoever. I was clear with the parents form the beginning "please do not give the kids any instructions, leave that to me! words of encouragement, cheering, yes totally!" and I stand by it. I'm also clear at the beginning that if I'm not myself giving instructions every second, is on purpose, I need to let the kids make decisions on their own, part of their learning, which you briefly mentioned near the end. So for me, is no instructions from parents of any kind, otherwise can get confusing, and can escalate quickly. And I would like to get some help on how to approach parents politely that are not behaving, I'm really a non-confrontational guy, so help or wording greatly appreciated! thanks for the vids, I really enjoy them and have picked up several good tips!

I know this is late but I loved your "North to America" comments. Living in the US, I definitely understand the genuine advice. I know folks had trouble with this perspective, but I love seeing how constant your movement is during the practice. The kids know you are constantly there to instruct, assess, correct and encourage. Maybe don't make this the standard, but maybe do more videos where you show this perspective sprinkled in??

Thanks Brandon! Yeah we loved the way a POV camera helps but it’s also hard to track the session, a blend of two camera angles seems to work best!

My little boy is 9, and you'd think size wise he is 7, as is another boy in his team. Both boys around 125cm tall in shoes. We've played in our 3rd tournament today and lost all 8 games we played in. What I did notice again is, some teams have children who would make under 11s look small, so to put size against size, we were throughout all positions 1 of the smaller teams in attendance. The physical nature of the game, pace, and developement of smaller against larger children on the ball is extremely vast! So what's the answer? Play children according to size not age? You could have a year 6 against a year 3, but the way they both read the game would be different dependant on game time and experience

Depending on the league, you can register your kid with any birthdate you want without proof of date of birth. Shouldn’t ever be an issue unless they are dominating and someone wants you to produce a birth certificate.

I like it! it'd be an interesting idea to include in grassroots league play....... take the match score......same scoring for W/L/D BUT THEN... follow every match with a pk shootout.... maybe you get another pt or two for winning the shootout? so you could lose the match but grab a pt from the pks..... 3 shots each team... if its a draw after 3.... its a draw makes those tied games MUCH MORE interesting! **ALSO! reward these keepers! let them get 1 pt for their team if they can shutout the shootout 🤣

This wasn’t a paid review or advert. It was a video made to shout about a product that we thought was great for young footballers. The app didn’t have a paid subscription when this video was created over 4 years, and when discuss the product with the creator they had no plans at the time for a paid membership. We might make an updated video that factors these things as well as our thought on their latest product that’s are actually Now a rip off.

Great glad to see i have been doing this roght. I have been doing this for 15 years on a spread sheet at development level. It works and it's great. Only problem is when a player calls off at late notice and you call in a replacement, you need to manage that, as parents are obsessed with game time 😂 and accusations of favouritism

Love the session just interested to know the years previous was the main focus technical ability 1v1 etc for these players ? I think for coaches watching it’s 100% important to teach possession but don’t make it the only thing you do players have to be allowed to express and be creative and if you over do the possession and passing you suck that out of players so it’s important to get the balance right between technical ability and possession But at these younger ages technical ability should be prioritised and the Possession stuff sprinkled in every now and then then Don’t make it so you have 7 robots on the pitch that only do what the coach has taught them encourage to try crazy skills and go at players Love the session but very well executed

Cold-hearted agree that young players need to learn all different positions and develop skills. My son in U8 was stuck at defense in every match just because he was good at defending. These kids are still learning and need to absorb skill sets for different positions.

Ben is undeniably top class when it comes to coaching....the "ease" at which he communicates and activates the understanding of these concepts with kids is a testament to his passion and the work he's clearly put in to it..... I've been coaching grassroots (U5-U14) for 5 years.....I watched some Catalan Soccer videos a couple years ago.... I think i probably tried to half-heartedly imitate and implement an exercise or two in my practices that i saw in his videos.... at the time, that was all that i was "looking for"...i thought..... I can honestly say that I see all of his content in a different way these couple years later.... .what i love about coaching is that it's a whole new way, for me, to reconnect with or "play" the beautiful game....whole new area for my own development :D Dont be too hard on yourself, take it one practice at a time..... And never forget.... They're 6.....or 7 ...or 9 and half ...or about to be 11.... I've found a lot of value in seeing that they enjoy playing the game <3 Best wishes from North Texas!

I know this video is old but maybe you still read new comments. I coach a recreational league team where every one must play a third of the game, with 16 players, 60 minutes. WHERE do I play my worst four players? When I do I play them? Thank you.
@CatalanSoccerАй бұрын
Hey! Thanks for the comment! Theoretically the closer those players are to the central spine of the team the more they would be exposed to pressure and mistakes. Centre back, or central midfield would be a riskier place to play somebody who is prone to give the ball away than a wide defender or wide midfielder. Another option is to use players who are less likely to strengthen the team when they come on in pairs with other players. So play them as a striker alongside your best striker. Or play them in midfield with 1/2 of your strongest midfielders. Be clever with managing their confidence with your teams success and staying competitive. For example, I’ve seen coaches bring on all their most inexperienced players all at once in the last 1/3 of the game and then the whole system collapses and they concede goals or struggle to create chances. So try to portion them into different times in the game and as one comes on, another comes off etc. Whilst that practical advice should help, obviously our job as coaches is to try and bridge the gap between the kids in your team and work with them as much as you can on their weaknesses to catch up with the rest of the squad. Hope this helps and if you ever need anymore advice feel Free to get in touch again! Thanks for the support. Ben
