[quote=Anonymous]Coached challenge/rec soccer for a bit. I'd have the assistant pull specific groups to the side and have them focus on specific weaknesses for a small portion of the practice while the bigger collective is doing a larger activity. The goal isn't to isolate, but to spread the knowledge. I'd mix between pulling advanced kids to work on something particular, and the less developed kids who needed basics. I'd explain it to the kids upfront that I'd have the assistant pulling a group to work on specific skills randomly throughout practice, and then they'd rejoin later. Parents figured it out quickly, and everyone learned something or gained a new skill. The hardest part is ensuring you spread the minutes between all the players, so no parents felt like their kid was left out of small group instruction (write down who you're pulling and timebox the small group). This assumes you have an assistant who is hands on as well. [/quote]
