    I have a player (u7s) that won't pass for love nor money and instead tries to take on the world or taking shots from corners.

    I've tried setting personal challenges like he gets more goals for a pass then a strike, or if the teams score from an assist (mainly aimed at him) it's 5 goals worth, but it wears off after a few minutes. I've worked with his dad also to try and drill it in to him.

    Is there any other ideas to encourage him to pass without losing his competitive edge?

    Hi John.

    I truly understand what is your thoughts. My team U8 captain loves dribbling too. I think in this age let them challenge 1v1 duel is a better way to enhance their confidence and personal skills. But also important thing is that let them to understand why they need pass. And which scenes need pass, and why, which scenes could challenge 1v1, and why. Which choice is better in real scenario. Make their own decision. They know the reason why, they can make reasonable react. Don’t worry. They are so young.
