I've put my hand up to coach the team for some reason. First training session this afternoon. And I'd say it took less than a minute for them to destroy any images I had of running a well drilled tika-taka football machine.

New goal for next week is to get one of them to pay attention for more than 6 seconds.

I would hold fire on N.Brown as an owner in Round One.

Wait to see what happens when Moeroa is back, although I was looking at his scores recently wishing I hadn't have traded him out. He is much more effective in the opening exchanges at scoring, so it depends if he stays in that role.

PS: I am going on strike for the next party. Brought a Chewbacca friend along to the last one and it sucked big time. Everyone was just sitting around talking about football. She was bored as.

Let me tell you this now Milch!

Coaching kids is the best thing you will ever do apart from fathering one!

I coach my boy U7's rugby, first year of proper fixtures this year and we are 3 games away from an unbeaten season, been doing it for 3 years with nigh on the same bunch of boys! Absolutely love it tough for the kids to understand so many rules in comparison to football/soccer
6 tags, don't run into tough, pass the ball backwards, don't drop it, don't dive over the line, don't punch that boy, punch that boy back if he hit you first

Soccer because its pretty much the easiest sport for a 5 year old.

Too young for netball, and although she could probably play some league or touch it would be an uphill battle. She at least shows some interest in soccer (although she already tells me she doesn't really want to play, i'm going to make her stick it out at least one year because even forgetting the physical benefits, she needs to learn teamwork and social skills and this is the best opportunity)

Welshy, can you remember what your first ever training session was like? I thought I had somewhat realistic expectations but it just blew me away from the start how hard it is to keep their attention. 2 of them in particular just had no interest in doing anything but running off and doing their own little thing. Trying to keep them under control was a full time job and meant I ended up neglecting pretty much any plans I had on actually trying to impart any useful knowledge . Still, by the end of the session they'd started playing something resembling an actual game of soccer, and I'll make sure I am better prepared for next week.
Got zero sympathy from Mrs Cow who is a teacher herself.

Didn't know that was an official rule in U7s!

Having coached U10s soccer would say it's in some ways harder than rugby, because while some kids love physical contact there are absolutely none, zero, who love passing the ball. By that time you're coaching concepts of space rather than the physical stuff and trying to get rid of the follow the ball mentality they learnt when they were younger. Pass, move, position for intercept/block are the key skills of soccer way ahead of dribble/shoot/tackle. Good luck getting U6s to do anything but the latter.
