Coach Tom, IL, USA Hi Tom, Congratulations on your success and thanks for this letter. My belief was and is that kids grow up fast and the more fun you can have while they're young, the better. You're giving them some fun memories. Regarding how to teach them to stay onside:
- Try the "3 Man Direct Wing Attacking Game" on Premium. If you don't subscribe to Premium, you should; read the Testimonials, it really works. There's a 30 day no-hassle refund policy. Very few people ever ask for a refund, and I think that says a lot.
- I suggest teaching your attackers to stay 2 steps behind the "Last Defender" and, if they don't have the ball but are running with a teammate who has the ball, to stay 3 steps behind the ball so they are less likely to be called offside. (The linesman's sight angle can sometimes make an attacker look like he's in an offside position when he's actually even with the Last Defender or with the ball).
