Youth Soccer is not Adult Soccer

Unfortunately, youth coaches are all too often judged by how many games their players win, by whether they rank high in the standings or win championships.

This is reinforced by the expectations of parents, who hope to see their children win. Taking adult soccer as their model, parents often transpose its standards, objectives and methods onto children’s and youth soccer.

Objectives of Youth Soccer

We consider the following, the primary objectives of children’s soccer

• Share the excitement of soccer with children!
• Offer children a well-rounded basic athletic training program.
• lnclude both challenges and encouragement in your program.
• Give children guidance on and off the field. Children’s development- not just athletic development, but general personal development- should be a major focus for responsible youth coaches.

In this eBook we will give you guidelines for practice, match play and player guidance!
