[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]U5 is very different to U7. At U7 kids should be able to play to a basic formation rather than charging round the field in a pack surrounding the ball. By playing to a formation you create space which gives all kids on the field time on the ball and room to dribble without being overrun by 7 other kids.[/quote] Ha! "Should" is very different from "are". At U5 half the kids aren't even participating at any given moment. In U6-U8 they get progressively better at understanding the basics. I think it's U9 where they really start playing to a formation. I have one in U5 and one in U8 right now. Not a single U8 team has played to a formation. For some kids it's their first time even playing soccer and others haven't played since they were 5 years old due to the pandemic. They are all over the map. The coaches are trying to get them to spread out but they don't really listen. [/quote]
