[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Is this a joke?  U7 is mostly kindergarteners.  They are playing sharks and minnows at practice to learn how to dribble.  If you can get all of them engaged in the game and no one is picking daisies, that’s a success.[/quote]

I actually meant U8 rather than U7.  But IMO U7s are capable of much more than just sharks and minnows. At our club U7s are playing small sided games and doing drills, as well as the fun games. I’d expect that is true of many clubs.[/quote]

The developmental range of kids at this age is huge, and they all get to play. Your superstars have to deal with the kids who are developmentally behind, some of whom may have emerging special needs you know nothing about, so grow some empathy, shut the heck up on the sidelines, and learn that it is not your place to yell at kids.[/quote]
