![]() My club emphasizes a 1-3-2-3, with correct movements through each line. Slowly but surely, with the psychological effects of understanding each win, will help the team will begin to do all the little things to lead to the teams outcome goal! When they successfully keep shape to prevent a goal or create one, emphasize that win. When a kid successfully takes on a defender, let them know that’s a win. Not saying your team does that, but do your best to emphasize the small games within the big games. Parents and their desire to win has ruined many efforts to improve our kids! I’ve been coaching youth soccer for well over 10 years and lose my mind when I see u12 and up blindly smash a ball. ![]() Then you can focus more on team stuff when together. If they can do that a couple day s a week for 30-60 mins at a time that will help. A little fitness and some ball handling (juggling, passing against a wall, feints, turns, etc). In that case, go long as you should have open men downfield.Īs far as only one practice a week, encourage them to do some work on their own. If the other team is pressing hard, you don't want to play from the back, unless your kids can really do it under pressure. If they are not that fast, then play a mid line and stay a bit behind opponent's forwards and try to hold them up or even better intercept passes.Īs far as moving the ball forward, from goal kicks, do a mix - sometimes play out of the back (ie progress from goalie to fullback to mid to forward) and other times try to go long (have goalie kick long if he can) and encourage your forwards to win the ball after the bounce. If your fullbacks are fast then you can play a high line, and go for off side trap. I would not put too many week players next to each other as it will create a big weakness to exploit. Of your two best players, I'd play one at striker/forward and the other at center-back. And try to get your keeper a bit involved in the play (ie he can be a passing option when not under pressure for the defenders). Is anyone super fast? Are they physical? Do some of them pass exceedingly well? Dribble? etc ![]() Of course, you'll lack a bit in the midfield.īut, it kinda depends on the skills and qualities of your players. To me, at 3-2-3 gives you good defense and offense. You went from a 2-3-3 (not enough defense) and then to the opposite extreme, 4-3-1 (not enough offense). The kids work so hard, I just want them to succeed and get some wins but they’re kids and unfortunately get easily discouraged. I was thinking of changing to a 2-4-2 to get two strikers, a solid spine, and the flexibility to have the wing backs morph the formation as needed (4-2-2, 2-4-2, 2-2-4).ĭo you have any thoughts or recommendations? It’s also tough because we only can practice once a week because of my work schedule so I don’t want to change too much as we are competitive in the 4-3-1. ![]() And our goals scored and goals allowed are equal at 10-10. An issue with this formation is we’re not getting enough scoring opportunities. Since then I have switched to a 4-3-1 formation, found some new goalies and we’ve been much more competitive since. We started the year in a 2-3-3 formation and got blown out 8-2. We are about halfway through the year and I have a question regarding 9v9 formations. ![]() I stepped in at the last second so the kids could have a season as the two coaches who originally committed backed out. I am a first time coach for U12 boys soccer (first time coach for anything). ![]()
