PRACTICE TIPS FOR A REC COACH
We received the following letter from a Rec coach. Our answer is below in black. The Premium Version of this article contains links to all the referenced games and topics:
�I'm coaching a U10 rec. team made up of 8 and 9 yr old boys and girls, 13 in total. I have a number of players that have played before, maybe half and the others have not played before. I have just finished my first two practices and I find the need to cover basic dribbling and basic passing to learn everyone�s ability. The experienced players are getting bored because it is taking too much time with the new players. I believe that your team is only as strong as the weakest link so that is why I spend the extra time with the new players. Plus I know if they have a bad experience they may not fall in love with this great sport. My concern is with the experienced players, I don't want them to lose interest.�
Please help
