Dealing with direct play
I coach an under tens team that have been successful since their under eight days. We have gained promotions and so are going up a level each season. We are currently second with two games in hand so we are coping with the changes. However now that the boys are growing in size we are coming up against teams who are playing a direct long ball agme at seven a sides. We are more of a passing teamand so the defencders are having to deal consistently with the big kick upfield. I am coaching heading such balls and communication between the defenders and the keeper. has ayone got any tips or drills to assist me in this?
