Key Coaching Points for 9 to 12 Year Olds
We’ve polled coaches and here are the key coaching points they recommend when it comes to passing:
- select proper weight and timing of pass
- look at target before making the pass (communication)
- eyes on the ball at the moment of contact
- good first touch to control and prepare ball
- keep your toes up and the ankle locked of your kicking foot
- use the proper surface of the foot to strike the ball
follow through toward target - accuracy over power
- body position and balance (slightly bent knee and body over the ball for low passes and lean back for aerial passes)
- always practice with both feet
