  • 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.
