-
Everything happens with a ball each. No lines, no laps, no waiting for a turn
-
Basic movement first: running, stopping, turning, jumping, balance. This is what technique gets built on later
-
Learning that the ball can be pushed, stopped, and taken somewhere on purpose
-
Games with lots of goals scored, because confidence at this age comes from feeling successful
-
The measure of a good session is whether they ask to come back
-
Small-sided 4v4 games on a short field, size 3 ball, no goalkeepers
-
Five core skills introduced: receiving, dribbling, driving with the ball, short passing, and shooting
-
Scanning starts here. Players learn to glance around for the ball, a teammate, and the goal before they receive
-
Both feet from the start, and shielding the ball from an opponent
-
1v1 is encouraged, not discouraged. We want players attempting moves and learning from losing the ball
-
Moving up to 7v7, where width and depth start to matter
-
Players learn to spread out when we have the ball and squeeze together when we do not
-
Deciding between two options: take the opponent on yourself, or find the free teammate
-
Passing range extends, and receiving with a body position that lets you play forward
-
Every player rotates through every position.
