Hi. Does anyone have advice on coaching youngsters (8 year old) with ADHD? On return from lockdown we have a player who is struggling with focusing and concentrating. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Barry thats excellent, especially the link, certainly for coaches to be able to view, very important for research into the unknow.
Pete one more thing to think about is select the words you use when setting a task or interventions. Direct words with simple meanings.
Sometimes words can be took too litteral by youngsters especially those with hidden disabilities like ADHD, autism.
tiredness could also play a major part in the individual also.

Like I said above simple, direct language does work. I think you're right tiredness may be an issue. This young lad's behavior became more difficult towards the end. He was running around a lot.
Thanks again Lee for your advice!
