League Week 3
Curriculum & Tips for 2’s
Ask the kids to score goals with you before the session starts! This builds their confidence and comfort with you on the field.
To keep the kids focused on you, try to be the most interesting & exciting thing on the field! Make transitions more exciting and set expectations for the kids by narrating what you’re doing.
Environment Tip:
2’s Week 3 Curriculum
Increase the challenge little by little each week to keep the kids progressing on their skill development.
2’s Skills
2’s Games
2’s Scrimmage Type
Parent & Me. Each child has their own ball to dribble from their goal to the other goal and score. After they score they stay in the goal in which they scored until all the kids finish. With the help of the parents, the kids repeat the game, heading back to the goal in which they started to play again, about 3-4 times.
The role of the coach in this approach is to provide a high level of energy, communication, and encouragement to both the kids and the parents.
Jerseys, why do we wear them? Help the kids understand that everyone wearing the same jersey as them is on their team, everyone wearing the other jersey is on the other team.
2’s Tactical Goals
UPside Skill: Teamwork. To teach teamwork during your sessions, encourage the kids to work together during games and the scrimmage. Encourage them to help each other, share and listen closely when other teammates are talking. You can reinforce the UPside skill throughout the session by reminding the kids what team they’re on and asking them how they can help their teammates.
