Question from U13 Soccer Travel Coach
Soccer Attacking See photos of our 29 kinds of iron on Motivational Soccer Patches
Hi SoccerHelp,
I will be taking over teaching at boys u13 travel soccer team in the fall and I have never coached at this level and age before. I am hoping to find educational training materials that will help me coach our team to stop with the high skill players "hotdogging" full field play and teach the boys the art of controlled passing and aggressive play. I do have a fairly strong understanding of the game but my coaching experience is extensively with younger boys and smaller fields. I am also interested in soccer conditioning drills as well as skill drills. thank you
Joseph

You want to develop a motivational program to motivate your players to DO WHAT YOU WANT. SO, for example, you do NOT want to give patches as rewards for goals scored or for the "MVP" because that will encourage selfish play and not team play. HOWEVER, you can give patches for assists and for defensive play in any part of the field by any player (even Forwards - you want a TOTAL defensive effort all over the field. Look at the Sample Motivational Programs at How Soccer Coaches Use Our Patches to Motivate and Reward Achievements and Behavior, especially Patch Reward System for Soccer that can be adapted for any Sports that encourages Team Attacking, Team Defending, Bravery, Hustle, Leadership, Teamwork, Listening to the Coach and Following Instructions, and teaches that all players have defensive responsibilities. Obviously, Bravery, Hustle and Listening to the Coach are key and you can beat more skilled teams if your players are brave, play their positions and hustle.
