Stop a player from being greedy and pass when necessary

John Harvey

Hi all,

I have a striker in under 7's, with a natural ability and strength, that wants to take on the world whenever he has the ball. We could be MUCH more successful if he passed it across to one of the other players. 

I've worked closely with his dad and we tried to instill the importance of team work but just not getting through. Does anyone have any pointers to keep his drive but eradicate his greed?

Thanks in advance.

    morning john

    i would be shocked if i didnt see 6yr olds wanting to hog the ball for as long as possible, its all they want to do.

    try giving the player a board with 3 or 4 different ways to score a goal.

    IE. can you play a wall pass but explained in thier language

        can you score from a cross

       can you score from a through ball

    but at that age i wouldnt be restricting the passion to run and score

    all the best
