How do you continually develop the best player in the group? U7/U8

Carlwyn Coombes

I have a player who is better than the rest of the group and his parents are concerned that their sons level will drop due to him playing with the other children -who are are currently at a different development stage. (I agree that his level is much higher than the rest)

The parents understand that everyone develops at different stages however they do not want there sons level to drop off due to playing in the same group?

Any thoughts on how to continue his to development whilst I am trying to develop the rest of the group?

    Hey Carlwyn,

    All players develop at different speeds and the trick I would imagine is to develop individual challenges for that player during sessions. My favourite way of doing these is to involve the player in setting these challenges as they feel they have control over their development and a real sense of achievement when they hit these targets.

    Just be wary that when you set these challenges they are not seen as a punishment for being good. You don't want to take away the enjoyment for that player. 

    Good luck!
