5 Do’s for Skills Coaches
DO: Make sure every one player has one ball (that is properly inflated) for the enJre session. “The secret to skill acquisiJon is repeJJons.”
DO: Pick a topic for a week or even two weeks (depending on the frequency of training opportuniJes) The more the basics can be reinforced the more proficient a player will become.
DO: Have a plan and set up everything you need before pracJce starts, even if it means starJng a liTle late. This will help keep kids engaged by limiJng their downJme.
DO: Be paJent. Let players play. Make coaching points between repeJJons or exercises. This will maximize Jme on the ball or game related acJviJes.
DO: Use players to demonstrate when you can. It’s a great way for them to be praised by their peers and it gives them an opportunity to show off their skills!
5 Don’ts for Skills Coaches
Don’t: Make a player wait to long for a turn. Keep group sizes to a minimum to provide mulJple repeJJons and contact with the ball. Groups of four allow for a 1:3 work to rest raJo.
Don’t: Work too long on one exercise. PerfecJon will not come in a day. If kids are struggling with skill try to incorporate more related exercises later in the session or later in the week.
Don’t: Be tempted to coach too much tacJcs. If you do keep it as simple as possible. Conceptually kids younger than 12 will not be able to grasp the idea of team formaJons or paTerns of play.
Don’t: Over-‐coach, less is more. Pick exercises related to your topic and make sure the objecJves are clear. Pick one or two moments reinforce success and or make a correcJon. Always “keep the focus on what the kids know not what you know.”
Don’t: Forget your energy! You are shaping how your kids will relate to the game. Having fun and
being compeJJve is more important than winning!
