Youth players
Working with kidsTry to stay at their level. Keep them all engaged. More short sided passing. Play games that they relate to like Pirates and Islands or Marbles. Concentrate on very basic technique. Repeat often until they get it. Give water breaks often. Always eyes on me when explaining the exercise. Have them repeat together and individually.
Working with teenagersFast paced. Listen to their questions intently. Explain more tactics about space and time.
