what are some fun ideas for coaching a youth soccer team?
i’m coaching a U12 team for my soccer club this season and was looking for some ideas on some fun drills/games that can take kids that have never played and make them have fun and develope passion for the game…so what do ya have as far as ideas go for me?
for some kind of warm up and streching exercise i was gonna find out their favorite songs and make them a warm up cd to listen to before games… from there i just know some basic passing and running drills… i don’t want anything too complex because only 1/4 of my team has played before so if you know anything fun and action packed pleas let me know. what are some good ways to break the ice for the first practice and get these kids excited?

Well I play U15 so I know the age group and stuff… Well I would try to teach them some moves/jukes or other skills and incorporate these into your practices.
