Week 4 is here! We've finished with the foundation session series, so now we're going to move to our problem solver series. This series will explore common youth football problems that coaches send me. "My team is forever bunching" is something I hear often. So, how to fix it? For me, you play small-sided games, and you reward the players who avoid bunching and spread out The session below encourages players to switch the ball often and gives the coach a chance to talk about the width and depth football principles. p.s. If you don't have 8 goals, use 4. Alternatively, use cone gates. Adapt and overcome!

A little practice I've been fiddling around with - ideal if you have a team of 12 and access to 2 goals 1 GK, 1 DF & 4 ATT Various 1v1's near the goal for the defender to manage - with attackers coming from in front and behind them Start with a pass to act as a pressing cue for the defender Rotate positions - whoever concedes the least amount of goals wins! Questions to ask - how can you stop the player facing you from moving forward? How can you stop the players behind you from turning and looking at the goal? If you are side on with a player, how and when is the best time to steal the ball? U10+
