Soccer is one of those games that are fantastic to sign your kid up for. One thing that usually happens whenever you sign your child up for soccer though is that there are not enough coaches. This is where all of the pleading and begging will come in for you to begin soccer coaching for your child's team. While it might sound like a piece of cake, if you do not know anything about soccer or how to coach it, you might be in a bit of trouble.
Once you have taken on the position of the coach, you might want to do some research about the rules, especially if you have never played soccer. Although you will get some information as soon as you accept, you might still want to look for your own research because soccer is not the easiest game to understand.
Soccer is not a hard game to understand but you, as the coach need to come up with positions for your child, a defense system and you really need to know what is allowed and what is not. One of the first things that you need to take into consideration is going to be the age of the team that you are coaching; this will really help you to understand the game a little bit better. Generally, your child will have to be at least seven years old in order to be on a soccer team simply because it can be dangerous.
Now onto the formations and positions; the very basic positions in soccer include the keeper, defender, midfielder and forward. After you have picked your positions, you now need to pick your formation.
The 4-4-2 is by far the most popular formation. This type of formation is going to be using 4-midfielders, 4-defenders and 2-forwards. Although there is another position available, this position is generally reserved for the keeper of the game.
When you are looking into a formation for your team, there are a few things to keep in mind and there is a reason why the 4-4-2 is the most popular. Firstly, you want to make sure that you give a chance to every child to play on every position, that way you can judge their skills and find out who would be the best fit for what position. Next, you want to make sure that the formation really gives an overall defense and attack against the other team, which is what the 4-4-2 does.
Although formations are important, it is definitely important for you to give your team some tactics, drills and skills. These are things that you are going to have to do with your team.
Perhaps the most vital skills your players can learn involves shooting the ball, passing it, dribbling it, and making sure they have a good defensive line. A lot of the other skills they will need they will actually learn while they are playing. Again, the best way to help them learn what they need to know is to set up drills for them. Let them play against each other before they ever play against another team. Make sure, again, that every child on the team practices all of these skills. They will be invaluable. They will also be essential for a winning season. - 23802
