Using Small Sided Soccer Games in Practice
As newer coaches begin learning how to coach soccer, most of their efforts go toward running drills to try to teach their players specific skills. That is to be expected. Often times you are given a team with very little understanding of how to play, so the coach has to start from scratch with teaching skills. The problem is, spending too much time concentrating on specific skills will not necessarily prepare your players for game situations.
As you learn more about how to coach soccer, you should work on coming up with ways to work the skills you are trying to teach your team into game situations. A great way to do this is to use small sided games as a part of your regular practices.
A lot of soccer coaches will use scrimmages, but small sided soccer games are a little different. Small sided games are small, controlled games that allow players to concentrate on certain aspects of the game. Rather than just blowing the whistle and letting your kids start playing a game, small sided games typically will set different goals or put different rules on the game. For instance, if you want your team to work on passing skills, you might set a rule that requires a team to make 3 successful passes before they are allowed to take a shot on goal. Or you could change the scoring to say that for every 3 successful passes a team makes, they get 1 point. This makes the team think more about passing than in shooting.
There are many different variations you could put together that make your team focus on one particular part of the game. If you want your team to get used to defensive pressure, you could set up a situation where you have 2 players on the field that always play defense. That way the attacking team is always outnumbered. You could require players to only shoot with their non-dominate foot. There are countless different situations you could set up for your players.
Teaching your players to play soccer is just that; you are teaching them to play. While skills are important, if they can’t perform those skills during a game then knowing the skill is of very limited value. Knowing how to coach soccer means knowing how to get your players ready to use what you have taught them during a game. If they can do that, you have done your job as a youth soccer coach.

Which Description Best Fits Bill O’Reilly?
A.- You or your friend’s scary angry father who takes great
pride in how early he wakes up each morning, and ends
each evening angrily lambasting a family member drunk
on scotch or some similar drink.
B.- The red-faced teacher from years gone by that ruled with
yelling that could be heard from down the hall, some
insanely intimidating paddle with holes drilled in it, and
would chronically go out for smoke breaks mumbling to
himself between classes.
C.- The scary angry father that is most often seen at youth
soccer games, sternly scolding his crying son for missing
a goal, saying things like “you want to grow up to be a
LOSER boy!?!?! Is dad raising some little nancy-boy?!?!
GET OUT THERE!!!!”, and, ultimately, gets in a violent
confrontation with a ref over a call.
D.- Sort of a white Rev. Wright; a crazed egomanical
preacher…only with more lapels and eagles.
E: All of the above for sure.
Add that he likely loudly screams at his wife, blaming her for his erectile dysfunction.
Does it seem like soccer aficionados speak a language all their own? It sure seems like it to me, and I’ve been playing the game for over 20 years. I put an article on the front page of this blog to help explain the most common soccer terms in plain English. Hopefully this list will help soccer moms everywhere (and soccer dads too, for that matter)to better understand what their little athlete is talking about! Click Here For Access: Soccer Terms.
