These are the kind of exercises you need to keep it fun. Love the video. Very clear and crisp explanations of the different drills. Keep up the good work! 👍🏻
I am coaching U8's for the first time this year and I tend to agree with many comments. This is way above most of my player's skill level and honestly should be for more U10-12's. Some of my U8's can't even dribble or pass, so this is WAY beyond them!
@@basilisk555 I kept my first practice very basic since I'm learning too and just did drills. But I'm adding more complex stuff every practice and the kids are definitely improving
I'm very knew to coaching my U10s girls football team, and I'm always looking for things to keep them active and keeping it fun these are just the thing.
Agree with Mike. In the beginning it will look messy, but you’ll see big progress very fast. Those little ones pick up new exercises and drills at an insane pace.
Some really great ideas here, my only concern is that none of them involve a goalie. My U8 team needs a rotating keeper, so no one is specialized. They all need to get practice in net or we'll ship a ton of goals when actually playing! 😂 Just my own two cents..
Hey James! While we didn't film every drill in our library (100+ drills) with every age group that a drill is applicable to, doesn't mean it's not recommended for U8 age groups. In fact, all of our recommendations are from experts at United Soccer Coaches, US Youth Soccer, and, for our FC Barcelona drills, FC Barcelona youth development experts. And none of the players in any video we have created are teenagers - we promise! At the end of the day, you're the coach and you know your team best, so if these are too advanced for your team, you can check out our full library in the MOJO app. It's free: get.mojo.sport/youtube

What is the time frame to get these drills working so that progress is happening? Are we taking 2 to 3 sessions or more like 10-15, I'm guessing the latter. My kids are good but red light - green light is a struggle at times...
First time coach, never played... Excited to put these to use as they're different from drills coaches have used in the past for my kids. Great video!!
I coach my son’s U8 soccer team and I was pleasantly surprised at how well the kids focused during the first drill they talked about. I managed to get 13 kids to focus and work as a team.
