First 5 minutes
Hi Guys
I'm new to this forum, I coach a U8 team in New Zealand, who have just had 3 games together.
I have a team that is a bit behind the rest of the grade in development, so we've been working hard on ball skills. And passing and receiving.
But, every game we've played so far we've let in a couple of easy goals in the first five minutes. To the teams credit, each time we've clawed our way back into the game, and although we haven't won a game yet, the guys have been able to compete.
I'm wondering if there is some warm-up I should be looking at to switch them onto defending strongly at the start. Or if I should start with a more defensive formation?
