Soccer Coaching Tips

[extelecom]

Yes, some of the U12 boys we have are pretty big and aggressive.
Good luck on the final. One of my good friends boy has made a U-12 select team (next notch up from recreational soccer). They have a kid on the team that is 5'11" and looks like a running back. So far I have only seen them play on small sided 4v4 games and he isn't quick enough on such a small field. I can't wait to see him on a regular field, they say nobody can keep up with him. He has some good moves. Their team got to walk on the field with the FC Dallas a week or so ago. It was supposed to be the Beckham game, but he was a no show. Didn't seem to bother the kids much. I think the team is getting to play at tonights half time game at FC Dallas.
I could have gone, but it is too hot and I have been feeling a little puny. This is my first exposure to a "select" youth soccer team it will be interesting to see how this goes. They have already given the kids a list of when they can take vacation and have been told what to drink. I think the discipline will help my friends son a lot. I have already noticed his play has improved just with him practiciong with them and playing with them in 4v4 a little.
