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?

    it can be difficult to translate from training sessions into games, it is so important that the players enjoy both the training sessions and games and linking these can at times become difficult.

    In training sessions try to replicate game situations try 1v1, 2v2 or even 3v2 this will allow realistic situations and also encourage creativity and positive play, try to also include some ‘ball mastery’ in your session to encourage confidence this could start basic and develop into practice that is quite challenging, have a look into some of the Coerver coaching which focuses on this for players of all ages and abilities.

    I hope this is helpful
