disruptive child

Lee Barnes

hi, so the hardest thing i have to deal with is disruptive boys. i coach under 9s. they are a good bunch of lads. but sometimes they spend alot of time messing around. i try to keep them active and doing drills or matches. but balls end up flying everywhere. the last thing i want to do is raise my voice. i do a sin bin for 2mins. is this a good idea? or is there something else i can try?

thanks

    Hi Lee.

    I work at an independent academy and despite parents paying x amount of pounds per month, and it isn't cheap, we still encounter disruptive children. I work alongside coaches who deliver PE sessions in schools and their insight and expertise in this area has been invaluable. 

    The single biggest lesson I have learned from these guys is to jump on that behaviour straight away, or it sets the the tone for the shole session.

    If you have had to call out the same person 4 or 5 times in a session then you have every right to speak to their parents.

    Being the eternal student I also looked at myself in these moments. My challenge to you Lee, as was given to me, is can you deliver your message in 60 seconds and get the ball rolling. The other question I would ask is what is the player's preferred learning style? Try visual aids to get a message across, whiteboards, cones or bibs on the ground, get this player to be your muse and demonstrate your drills or ideas.

    Feel free to contact me for anything further.
