I find a lot of people understand the basic, most common scenario, but don't realize the part about the ball being onside if two players have moved past the opposition. I've seen so many cases (even a coach recently on the MLS, if you can believe it) of people pointing to the last defender when a pass is made to a teammate behind or in line the ball. Anyway, great explanation.
💯 and also true in the US. Boys between the ages of 10 - 14 grow differently. One kid might have a size advantage for a period of time, but they all eventually catch up. The bigger kids also have a disadvantage as they end up relying on their size rather than their ball handling skills
hi for u7 teams what would you say 7 children in a team more than enough? as my sons current coach is trying to add his friends son which would increase it to 8 players. This means my son loses 3 minutes of game time per game....just like to know peoples opinion would you give your childs minutes? or do you think its fair?
8 is fine for a squad size, it helps to have extra players available to cover injuries and absences etc. but for a match day 7 players is more than enough players for 4 outfield positions
New Vids!!!!!! Thanks Ben!
Thank you for making this video. I learned a lot from it. I do have one question: could you create a video about how you are laying out the cones? Alternatively, could you recommend a website that explains the reasoning behind your cone layout? Once again, great video and keep up the excellent work.
I appreciate your videos. I’m a 10 year girls varsity high school coach, first year competitive club coach in Phoenix, Arizona. These videos have helped tremendously .
I play 4v0 rondos (yeah, no one in the middle yet) with my U9 team. I'm really still focusing on cross-body control and passing, it does take a while with some more than others. I have made it a game though, which group can get the most consecutive touches in 2 minutes time
Well explained 🎉❤️
Well done Coach Ben! Been watching your videos for awhile now love the content bro, good ideas and relatable! Keep it up, you guys got a good team of coaches for the next generation! Aloha from Hawai'i 🤙🏾
Does the banked money add with each time they catch the ball or is it only the highest single number of touches with a catch?
Either! In this session we asked the kids for their score at the end of each round, declared a winner then restarted on £0 each round. You can add it all together, or do it where it’s highest single number. Play around with other variations (double money for weak foot) for example.
Great video. Congrats
This guy explained offside and I understood it better❤
The only video that made me understand
Hello, I really like your videos and have learned about video knowledge. I would like to translate your videos into Chinese subtitles and upload them to Chinese websites for better learning.
I actually completed this drill today in the park as part of my knee recovery. Had a good time, thanks!💪🏼
Off side!!!!!!!
I think we’ve all had a player like this. Best thing to do is to add to the skill set rather than remove or discourage it. Good video 👍
Hey m8, I think your red circle tag close to the end of the video (11:16) is meant to say Dont Give Up and not Give Up ;)
One way I found to be really useful with the interventions is to give instructions once and try and figure out concise messages (2-4 words!), that you will then use to remind the players during the practice or game. This way you don't have to stop the action, but you can activate their memory and perception skills to focus on the theme we're practicing
Thank you for this. 🫡
so you have to be infront of the defender while they pass to you
Some good tips, but I partially disagree on letting parents shout any instructions whatsoever. I was clear with the parents form the beginning "please do not give the kids any instructions, leave that to me! words of encouragement, cheering, yes totally!" and I stand by it. I'm also clear at the beginning that if I'm not myself giving instructions every second, is on purpose, I need to let the kids make decisions on their own, part of their learning, which you briefly mentioned near the end. So for me, is no instructions from parents of any kind, otherwise can get confusing, and can escalate quickly. And I would like to get some help on how to approach parents politely that are not behaving, I'm really a non-confrontational guy, so help or wording greatly appreciated! thanks for the vids, I really enjoy them and have picked up several good tips!
I know this is late but I loved your "North to America" comments. Living in the US, I definitely understand the genuine advice. I know folks had trouble with this perspective, but I love seeing how constant your movement is during the practice. The kids know you are constantly there to instruct, assess, correct and encourage. Maybe don't make this the standard, but maybe do more videos where you show this perspective sprinkled in??
Thanks Brandon! Yeah we loved the way a POV camera helps but it’s also hard to track the session, a blend of two camera angles seems to work best!

My little boy is 9, and you'd think size wise he is 7, as is another boy in his team. Both boys around 125cm tall in shoes. We've played in our 3rd tournament today and lost all 8 games we played in. What I did notice again is, some teams have children who would make under 11s look small, so to put size against size, we were throughout all positions 1 of the smaller teams in attendance. The physical nature of the game, pace, and developement of smaller against larger children on the ball is extremely vast! So what's the answer? Play children according to size not age? You could have a year 6 against a year 3, but the way they both read the game would be different dependant on game time and experience
HA I knew I wasn't offsides all those times
Ben, I noticed within the subjects of the parent agreement was philosophy. What is your philosophy on coaching your players?
This is so helpful, thank you.
minute 10:20 to 13:00 is some of the most useful coaching a youth player can get. Amen Brotha!
Depending on the league, you can register your kid with any birthdate you want without proof of date of birth. Shouldn’t ever be an issue unless they are dominating and someone wants you to produce a birth certificate.
Excellent stuff!
Thanks man
damn, coach you're a natural!!
Who is in charge of the subtitles? Check 11:11 🤬🤣
Had to listen a few times to catch the error. I think it's one of those things where you read the word and so it is what you expect and thus what you hear.
“Try and get it UP off the floor” 😂 apologies
Americans can’t “develop” players due to pay to play
Are you in England?
Silent sideline. 😅 Great ideas for shouty parents. Thanks
I like it! it'd be an interesting idea to include in grassroots league play....... take the match score......same scoring for W/L/D BUT THEN... follow every match with a pk shootout.... maybe you get another pt or two for winning the shootout? so you could lose the match but grab a pt from the pks..... 3 shots each team... if its a draw after 3.... its a draw makes those tied games MUCH MORE interesting! **ALSO! reward these keepers! let them get 1 pt for their team if they can shutout the shootout 🤣
This is not a review.. this is more like paid advertisement plus did not mention 16.99 membership per month to use app..
This wasn’t a paid review or advert. It was a video made to shout about a product that we thought was great for young footballers. The app didn’t have a paid subscription when this video was created over 4 years, and when discuss the product with the creator they had no plans at the time for a paid membership. We might make an updated video that factors these things as well as our thought on their latest product that’s are actually Now a rip off.
Understood thanks for the update. Now they charge monthly when they ship product…
@memous13 we’ve also since found out that the ball they use is just a normal yellow ball and they are charging £80 plus for it when it has no special capabilities when compared to any yellow soccer ball!
Great glad to see i have been doing this roght. I have been doing this for 15 years on a spread sheet at development level. It works and it's great. Only problem is when a player calls off at late notice and you call in a replacement, you need to manage that, as parents are obsessed with game time 😂 and accusations of favouritism
Man this video was so hard to listen to. So much noise from the other pitches.
Thanks for the feedback Robert! The usual microphone we use broke just before the session so everything on this video we captured was with the normal camera microphone. We did our best with subtitles and cleaning up the audio but it’s still not the best. Hope it didn’t ruin the messages for you.
This is great, appreciate it
Messi ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love the session just interested to know the years previous was the main focus technical ability 1v1 etc for these players ? I think for coaches watching it’s 100% important to teach possession but don’t make it the only thing you do players have to be allowed to express and be creative and if you over do the possession and passing you suck that out of players so it’s important to get the balance right between technical ability and possession But at these younger ages technical ability should be prioritised and the Possession stuff sprinkled in every now and then then Don’t make it so you have 7 robots on the pitch that only do what the coach has taught them encourage to try crazy skills and go at players Love the session but very well executed
Thank you! Yes they do a 14 week block, only 3 of those weeks are possession or tactical based and the remainder are technical, mentality and physical training sessions!
@@CatalanSoccer Supper stuff I don’t think there’s a doubt you guys are doing great stuff comment was maybe towards some other coaches who watch this and go all in on the possession stuff and neglect the the other stuff you just mentioned Thanks very much for the response
Cold-hearted agree that young players need to learn all different positions and develop skills. My son in U8 was stuck at defense in every match just because he was good at defending. These kids are still learning and need to absorb skill sets for different positions.
How many of us coaches tried Rondo with our U9 team envisioning Barcelona? Then reality hit and we went into a deep depression.
Its amazing how well you can explain what you want them to do. But how do you do this with a squad of 13 u7s
The same way. In bitesize chunks, with exciting language and animation on your tactics board. You have to try and be more interesting and fun than anything distracting them!
Ben is undeniably top class when it comes to coaching....the "ease" at which he communicates and activates the understanding of these concepts with kids is a testament to his passion and the work he's clearly put in to it..... I've been coaching grassroots (U5-U14) for 5 years.....I watched some Catalan Soccer videos a couple years ago.... I think i probably tried to half-heartedly imitate and implement an exercise or two in my practices that i saw in his videos.... at the time, that was all that i was "looking for"...i thought..... I can honestly say that I see all of his content in a different way these couple years later.... .what i love about coaching is that it's a whole new way, for me, to reconnect with or "play" the beautiful game....whole new area for my own development :D Dont be too hard on yourself, take it one practice at a time..... And never forget.... They're 6.....or 7 ...or 9 and half ...or about to be 11.... I've found a lot of value in seeing that they enjoy playing the game <3 Best wishes from North Texas!
Thanks i has to watch it a few times to understand now I can know a bit of the offside rule 😅
Love this thank you Mr
What is the rest period
Well explained. 👏👏👏
