Coaching Youth Sports: How It Should Be Done.

The weather forecast for Hell shows 4+ Celsius for the next 10 days, sorry... There's probably some snow left though.

And me too: let little kids play. Twelve & up can compete.

It's not just about "letting kids play". It's also about how you train people to become good athletes. This is definitely not how you train people. The biggest problem, from a football point of view, is that his style will fail to produce any good athletes at all. He's a bad coach not because he's hard, but because he won't be able to produce any good players.

Also, his playing style is retarded and hopelessly outdated. "Physical football" won't get you anywhere. And this comes from a hardcore believer in the norwegian(Drillo's) way...

During the early years, emphasis should be on the technical aspects, ie. learning how to interact with the ball, which is why we play 7-a-side up till 11 years. As the body gets closer to maturity, you can add in more strength training. But the fact remains, football isn't american football, technical skill is what wins the day.
