I will not force you to agree, but I would like to give some advices. While practicing free soccer training drills, one of the best plans to attack the other team is, to keep exchanging the ball within the team members, and finding a loop hole in the defenders of the other team thus achieving the goal. Follow the techniques given below, during the soccer coaching drills, and train the players accordingly to impart these skills.
Match winning tactic: keep the ball swinging between attackers from right to left; engaging the defenders in between. Look a good opportunity and attack the goal. Moving the ball from one to another player within the team helps reducing the stress.
Speedy Switching or Blind Pass: A blind pass can be accomplished, rolling the ball using right foot, while throwing it to left; one or two mid-fielders must be knowing this technique. For the left-footed mid-fielders, the same effect can be achieved by swinging the ball using left foot, and kicking it back to the right.
The defender on the other side won't suspect the pass and you can achieve the target.
You should train the players to make switching the ball a habit; keeping all others to be ready for this type of pass. Of all the soccer drills, your kids may find this drill rather difficult but it is it's competitive nature that guarantees player's total participation in soccer practice.
Six small goals are required on both side of the field. A point is scored by the team when the player runs through the goals placed in the middle when playing out from the back. They get two points for passing through the last goals as this encourages switching.
Throughout free soccer training drills, the goals should be made adequately wide to teach that there is not much use only to put a player between them to avoid a run or pass. Choose one player who runs from goal A to B. To prevent the attackers to score, the players must remain between the goal.
When young defenders are engaged in a game, they are often drawn away from their position. They tend to move to the point, where the ball is being played. So tell your mid-fielders to keep an eye on the sections and make out if by switching play from one side to the other they can surprise the defenders who have gone missing.
During following sessions of football drills, try to teach them to cover the entire width of the ground. Impart the skill and repeat a few times, especially make them realize where the actual attacking threat may raise.
As I am sure that you are full of information, include these practices in your free soccer training drills, so your players are always ready and the opposition mid-fielders find it difficult to catch your defenders out.
