Questions

How should a youth football session be structured?

Most coaching courses recommend a warm-up with a ball each, a technical practice or rondo, a main practice on the session's theme, and a game to finish. Keep queues short and finish with the game.

What if fewer players turn up?

Change the number (or untick who's missing if you've added your squad) and the plan swaps in drills that work with those numbers.

Can I plan sessions for my formation?

Yes. Pick your formation and the main practice uses patterns of play and rondos built for that shape.
