U8s just not scoring

Kayleigh Thomas

Hi all, I am a coach of u8s, we play every Saturday and have been since September but we still haven't won a game. we don't have a player on the team that is a "goal scorer" its like I have a group of amazing midfielders but once they get near the goal nothing happens. I need some advice on how I can develop the players to be a goal scorer. I understand its not about winning but the children are now starting to feel really deflated and are starting to not love being there anymore. we just need a few goals and not even to win, the children just need something to cheer about during the game instead of conceding loads and never scoring. Thanks

    I would start with making sure your midfield and attack are comfortable attacking from back to front. could work on emphasising passing and moving in drills using end zones. This will encourage players to progress the ball to the final third at a pace. And more importantly allow your players to make runs towards goal where their team mates aim to find them with a final pass. The more repetition you can build in progressing towards the box the, the more natural the attatcking players will feel in front of goal.
