Ask The Coach...
Everything You Wanted To Know But Were Afraid To Ask
Coaches have to deal with all sorts of scenarios week in and week out. Each week John will address a question that has been sent in by an AYSO coach. This week's question is:
"What can I do with a player that doesn't show up for practice?"

| Training Activities Spotlight "Defender Has A Problem" Is An Activity For A U-10 Team
"Defender Has A Problem" works on multiple skills for a U-10 teams. These skills include passing, controlling, dribbling, defending and turning the ball away from goal. You will need a full U-10 team and 12 or more soccer balls.
Organization: You can use a half or full size soccer field. Create two lines near midfield, one line of attackers and one line of defenders. The attackers should be 10 yards behind and outside the defenders. Place one player to be the server to the right of the lines.
How The Game Is Played: An attacker and a defender race to the ball that is played forward by the server. The defender must turn away from the goal and dribble it back up the field.
Variations: Defender must pass back to server. Add a keeper and if attacker wins, allow attacker to go to goal. Use both sides of the field.
