Topics I've Started

New To Coaching, First Time Players, 5-6 Years Old

13 April 2010 - 04:54 PM

Actually, I'm just planning on helping when/where I can.

First practice Thursday night. What do I do?

Have them run so I can see who is fastest and should carry the ball?

Have them throw to see who can throw/catch? Can't really see much passing happening at this age.

What can I do for an hour or so to keep their attention, and make some progress?

Shall I draw some plays up? Will they even "get it" at this age?

Shall I scrimmage some?

Zone defense? Man?

My 6 year old has the attention span of a, well, a 6 year old. I imagine the rest are about the same.

What am I in for?
