Taking the drilling and screaming out of
youth football (soccer) will make the game more enjoyable and create better players.
Let's take the approach so many adults bring
to youth soccer to other children's activities.
Take a bunch of 6-year-olds to the playground, but don't let them scamper
off to explore the different structures. Make them all line up and wait
patiently to take turns on the monkey bars. If one of them wanders off
toward the swings, scream at him.
Be sure to tell them exactly how they should climb. Yell at the slow ones
to go faster. While they're hanging from a bar, shout at them to ''grab
the next bar!''
At the sandbox, don't just let them start digging around willy-nilly. No
building mounds or castles until we teach them the proper way to hold the
shovel. Line them up for the shovel drill and don't forget to yell, ''Dig,
dig, dig!''
After 50 minutes of instructions on the various aspects of proper
playground usage, give the kids 10 minutes to play.
Sounds ludicrous, doesn't it? So do these scenarios, but they're real and
all too common:
A 9-year-old dribbles downfield and comes to a screeching halt because his
coach doesn't let defenders past the halfway line.
In an 8 v 8 game of 7-year-olds, two players on each team are forced by
their coach to remain planted in front of their own goal. Wouldn't want to
be vulnerable to a counterattack, would we?
A 6-year-old girl who started playing soccer a couple weeks earlier
dribbles the ball toward the goal while her coach moves along the sideline
screaming, ''Kick it into the goal! Kick it hard! Kick it into the goal!
Kick it hard!''
And I'm wondering what it would be like to have someone four times as big
as I am hollering at me while I try to perform a skill that is barely
within my capabilities.
One of my favourites is the ''Spread out!'' scream. I hear this from
coaches, directed at 6-year-olds. Apparently they haven't noticed that
these kids can barely kick the ball more than five yards, so it's a bit
unlikely that they'll be able to exploit the flanks and whip in a cross.
Perhaps the most puzzling aspect of youth soccer is the insistence on
making young players do drills instead of just letting them play
small-sided games, the way Pele, Diego Maradona and Ronaldo did when they
were young.
In America, children start playing organized soccer three or four years
before those guys did. That's the way it is, because in today's world they
usually can't just go outside and play pickup soccer for hours on end. But
that doesn't mean they should have to show up at a practice and be
instructed as if they haven't left the classroom.
Besides the fact that, after obeying adults all day at school while
planted in a chair, children deserve and need playtime without overbearing
adult interference, children learn soccer from playing and mimicking
others, not from instructions.
The Brazilian and Argentine players who delight us so much developed their
skills playing without adults looking over their shoulders stifling their
creative impulses and critiquing their ''mistakes.''
Said Juergen Klinsmann recently about the decline of German talent:
''Today all the youth soccer is played in organized tournaments, we don't
have kids playing in the streets any more. But it's in street soccer where
the real talent appears.''
So it would make sense for coaches to replicate the kind of soccer the
Ronaldinhos of the world played when they were under 10. But there are
youth coaches - lots and lots, I fear - who feel they're being generous if
they devote a third of their practice to scrimmaging. I imagine a
6-year-old Maradona would have quit the sport if his introduction to it
entailed doing the drills we make our kids do instead of letting him run
around trying to score.
Of all the hundreds of successful American and international players I
have interviewed or researched, they have had in common the fact that they
played soccer as much as they could outside of their organized leagues -
in their backyard, in their house, at the local park. They did so because
they had fallen in love with the game.
The chances that children will develop a passion for the game are much
greater if they have a good time playing it. And I can't imagine anyone
with a soccer background will disagree that the most fun part of soccer is
playing a game, with goals to score on.
And when children play mini-games they should be allowed to play as they
please - explore the game and not be talked to constantly by the coach.
Above all, young children shouldn't be discouraged from dribbling.
Expecting an under-8 team to develop a passing game is like forcing little
kids to figure out Rubik's Cube instead of letting them play with Legos.
Young kids can comprehend the concept of dribbling and they like to do it.
So they should be encouraged. After all, a look at higher levels of the
game reveals what a precious skill dribbling is. We have far more good
passers than good dribblers. Moreover, dribbling develops ball skills that
will help players become good passers.
Schellscheidt, the head of U.S. Soccer's U-14 boys development program,
has won national titles at the pro, amateur and youth levels. Richie
Williams, who played on Schellscheidt's two McGuire Cup-winning teams
before winning college and MLS titles, described Schellscheidt's
practices: ''Our training sessions were basically just playing.''
A key part of ''Guidelines'' are recommendations for team sizes and
goalkeeper-use at particular levels, and which rules to apply or not apply
- for example, 3 v 3 games without keepers for children under-8.
''Guidelines'' encourages coaches to create practice sessions that
simulate pickup games, to organize less, to say less, to allow players to
do more, to encourage the dribbler ...
One hopes that ''Guidelines'' will have an impact on the well-intentioned
adults who run our youth leagues but sometimes forget that soccer for
young children is playtime.

The following article provides some worthy information regarding your responsibilities as a coach.
Even volunteers can be liable - do you know your rights and responsibilities? By Dr. Lynn Pantuosco Hensch
Westfield State College
The reality of frivolous lawsuits has
professionals across a wide range of disciplines
fearful of litigation. The field of coaching, both
professional and volunteer, is no exception.
Coaches have newer obstacles to face in terms
of legal issues. The need for safety and risk
management is greater than ever before.
Because of the hazards of coaching within
a litigious society, it is imperative for coaches
to be familiar with their legal rights and
responsibilities. The purpose of this article is
to clarify the legal issues that are most
relevant to coaches, while providing practical
suggestions to ensure safe soccer programs.

Photo's - Presentation Evening
Below are some photo's of our recent Presentation evening:
To acknowledge the crucial role of the goalkeeper in a football team and the unique skills required by goalkeepers, North Coast Football have developed a brand new cutting edge goalkeeping program.
It offers a range of specialist services within the speciality of goalkeeping.
The Goalkeeper is the most individual position on any sporting team.
They dress and look different.
Their main purpose is to prevent the very aim of the game - to score a goal.
A team coach has responsibility for 12 to 15 players so focuses their time on the needs of the 'most' & is often unable to meet the specialist needs of a goalkeeper.
The Goalkeeper is a specialist position requiring specialist skills and knowledge.
Specialist skills require specialist coaching methods.
Services offered by The NCF Goalkeeping Program:
For keepers:
:: Introduction to goalkeeping.
:: High intensity, specialist technique and fitness programs for male & female NCF rep keepers
:: High intensity, specialist technique and fitness programs for senior club keepers
:: Remedial medium - high intensity programs for club junior keepers
:: Girl only programs 'giving goalie a go'
:: Spring & Summer Programs
For Coaches:
:: Programs to assist coaches better understand the specific differences of the goalkeeper and better meet their specific needs.
