Coordination with and without the soccer ballĬoordination exercises are great for younger kids muscles and confidence. Learning basic motor skills at a young age can help them to be more athletic than they were naturally meant to be. That’s not going to build a firm foundation of motor skills that help build coordination without the ball. Coaches I see only do scrimmage and dribbling drills. This is not something that is hard to do, and can even be done as the warm-up. There’s not enough youth coaches teaching motor skills. Working on motor skills and playing small-sided games is extremely beneficial.
The right coordination drills at a young age will help kids become better athletes when they're older. These are lessons every player needs to become good at. The Advanced is a mix of aerial and ground control. Once these are done correctly, I highly recommend you get my advanced course. If you’re like others who want to save time and not be overwhelmed with what to teach get my 5 video lessons, called ‘The Basics. Keep it simple and make sure they are practicing trapping and short passes with the inside of the foot. If the players can learn to do the basics they’ll do just fine.
When the time comes for them to choose a sport or activity, we want soccer to be one of them. Also to learn the correct skills for their age. The main goal for ages 4-7 is for them to have an enjoyable experience through soccer. Learning early helps athletes as they growĪ firm foundation will give players correct form when they are older. Remember to be patient with the young ones and have fun with it. It’s hard to make sports movements perfect, but that is a great phrase that stuck with me growing up. In this they learn that practice makes perfect. For some athletes, you will have to remind them to go slow and teach the muscle memory. It’s not about speed yet, it’s about doing it slow and correct. I remember how hard it was at first, but once the muscle memory picks it up, you literally start to go faster and faster in just seconds. To this day when I teach younger players ages 4-7 motor skills, I can still remember the time I learned this exercise called the icky shuffle.
