Football Parent Tips

The Parent's Job

Set up a safe space, choose one small goal, and notice what the child is actually doing. The parent does not need to comment on every touch.

Short Practice Wins

Ten focused minutes is often more useful than a long session that ends in frustration. Finish with an activity the child can do well and wants to repeat.

Useful Words

Try one cue at a time: look at the target, soften the touch, or move after the pass. Give the child room to solve the next repetition.
