COAST
Welcome to Chamberlain Oacoma Area Soccer Team (COAST) Youth Soccer Spring 2016
Season! COAST is dedicated to helping Coaches learn, improve and fine tune their craft. Education and
preparation are key ingredients to becoming an effective coach. The soccer board would like to thank you
for volunteering to coach and have developed this paper to assist you and provide you with a practice
plan.
Practice Plans
The Practice Plans are organized by Player Age Groups and by Training Themes. Each
Practice Plan is designed specifically to be age appropriate. Age groups are designated in even years (i.e.
U6, U8, U10, etc.) but the sessions are also appropriate for the odd year preceding the age group listed
(e.g. U6 practice plans are appropriate for U5 players). If you believe that your players need more or less
challenge, feel free to try Practice Plans from other coaches in an older or younger age group. But please
understand that each Practice Plan has been developed to enhance the development of each player on
your team.
In order to make practices run smoothly and be fun, it is important for us to have a basic understanding
of the intellectual, emotional and physical developmental stage of the players we are coaching. Here are
some typical characteristics of the Under 10 player.
Attention span lengthens and they start to show the ability to sequence thoughts and actions.
They start to think ahead and think “If this, then that”
More inclined towards wanting to play soccer rather than being told to play.
Demonstrate increased self-responsibility
They start to recognize fundamental tactical concepts
Begin to become aware of peer pressure.
Players affiliate with their team or their coach
There is a wide continuum of maturity evident on most teams.
This is still a crucial age for technical skill development.
On the following pages are 10 Lesson Plans designed specifically for the U10 player. You can use these as
your plan in the order provided or you can mix them up as you see fit.
