Excellent. Hope my tips helped

I can never get enough footy. Would like to do some with KS1 this term.

I am hoping to run a footie club at school with the hope of it going into a team...anyone any tips.

Have a look at my previous posts and ask any questions you need to.

Having done a lot more footy at school since I posted on here my thoughts have changed a little but none the less it's a decent base to go from.

My biggest tip is let them play as much as they can. Don't go OTT with drills etc. as when in a match do they have to dribble round cones, or have loads of time to shoot. They are good for warm ups or helping less able kids, but don't spend too much time on them. You're better letting them play lots of small sided games (4 vs 4 is advised by most modern research) to improve their comfort on the ball. Then purely advise them on what they're doing right and wrong in them games.

Thanks. To be honest I'm not a real footie girl but really want to get on the good side of school! Working with SEBD kids, sure it will be fun and games!
