Developing Concentration and Passing

I coach a team of under 7's and we had our first friendly last Saturday.

All the boys were great and gave 100% but as the game went on they did lose their concentration and in some instances were just caught out whilst daydreaming.

They also went from passing really well in training to not passing at all during the game.

What can i do to work on/improve this?

    you could try an achievment board for them in each game.

    ie how many passes can you make in the game, ask parents to tick each time their son/daughter make a pass.(including the goalkeeper)

    you can do this each week with different tasks, and  maybe a leader board with each player moving up the board with their progression.

    They can even choose their own tasks.

    where concentration is an issue, if you have plenty of players keep rotating when certain players minds start to wander, they can always go back on.

    all the best
