Methodology: Guide and discover. Ask questions. Teach players the โ€œWHYโ€ behind decisions to improve their problem-solving.

๐ŸŸ๏ธ Game Day Guidelines

Watch Game Day Video

  • Style of Play: Play out of the back, with intention behind decisions.
  • Assign positions based on age and field size (defender, midfielder, attacker).
  • Give constructive feedback calmlyโ€”avoid yelling.
  • Coach players off the ball and review decisions after plays.
  • Goalkeepers should distribute by rolling or passing.
  • Maintain diamond shapes and proper width/depth in offense.
  • Donโ€™t leave 2 players โ€œcampedโ€ backโ€”it limits development.
  • Educate parents pre-season and post-game: calm, positive sidelines = better player focus.
