[quote=DCUdad][quote=Ossalt]Which clubs actually drill during practice? Most seem to only scrimmage...[/quote] This probably isn't true. I would guest "most" clubs have drills at practice. But you are probably right that *way too many* teams/coaches spend way too much practice time scrimmaging. The best teams and coaches spend very little time with unstructured scrimmages, especially at early ages. Now, some drills can evolve to look more scrimmage-like (i.e. there may be defenders and goals), but that's not the same thing. If your youth team spends most of their practices just scrimmaging, you should find a new team or coach -- all the more so if your child is younger or not on the top team. All coach training and education is about how to plan and execute training sessions around technical or tactical development, building up from individual basics to more game-like scenarios.[/quote]
