The talented kids really want to train and improve and do their best, the other half complain and look for ways to avoid doing stuff. Trying to cater for both groups is not easy.<BR/>They do love scratch matches but that doesn't necessarily help them, the good get better, the average stay the same because they can't get into the game.<BR/>Thanks for the feedback and ideas.Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04372523102108232792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9013575890703886368.post-48311728210394011252008-08-28T10:36:00.000+10:002008-08-28T10:36:00.000+10:00Training for junior sport - you seem to be having ...Training for junior sport - you seem to be having some hasseles witht the soccer team. What specifically are they are? I'm interested because of what I picked up at a level 1 AFL coaching clinic.<BR/>The guy leading it said that their surveys showed that most kids who drop out of footy do so because they find training boring and repetitious. They wanted more games and fun- faie enough i reckon. So I've adpoted more of this approach with junior basketball to great success. The hard drills and heavy work can be saved until they get older and want to take it more seriously. i don't know if this is were your soccer team are at, but i reckon every training session should finish with a game, and the kids love it when you get invovled too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
