[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not difficult to be a coach who develops players.  Have set practices which include footwork drills, possession and ball handling drills, passing, striking, etc.  This should be 50% of the practice then the team breaks into smaller scrimmages.  Also, enforce the kids meet goals (example juggling 10 times by X date, then 15 times, then 20 times).  [/quote]

This is simple, yet excellent advice.  Coaches that coach travel without much of a plan don't even do this.  --And this would help out a lot!  Our club puts the novice coaches coming from Rec to coach at the U Little level... then, they don't do much else besides scrimmage the kids. No goal setting, no foot skills ( they don't even know names for half the moves... what is a Mathews?), very little small sided scrimmages...  ugh! Tech director no where to be found... once a poor coach is set in on a team, try to keep them accountable by asking lots of questions. CC the tech director.

A good coach makes a world of difference.   [/quote]
