Synopsis
Key Coaching Points For 9 To 12 Year Old's
We’ve polled coaches and here are the key coaching points they recommend when it comes to passing:
Select proper weight and timing of pass
Look at target before making the pass (communication)
Eyes on the ball at the moment of contact
Good first touch to control and prepare ball
Keep your toes up and the ankle locked of your kicking foot
Use the proper surface of the foot to strike the ball
follow through toward target
Accuracy over power
Body position and balance (slightly bent knee and body over the ball for low passes and lean back for aerial passes)
Always practice with both feet
About Caroline Elwood-Stokes
Caroline Elwood-Stokes, former player of Sheffield Wednesday Ladies. Kilnhurst, Sheffield United Ladies and published author is the founder of FOOTBALLS AWARENESS of MENTAL HEALTH (FAMH), an Organisation providing support and awareness to players, coaches and managers suffering with – or have suffered with – mental health issues.
“As an ex footballer myself, I lost my career abruptly 23 years ago,” said Elwood-Stokes. “I was not able to face football, I couldn’t even bear to hear the word and I went into a massive spiral of depression, so severely that I was self harming, taking over doses and planning my own death. Basically, if I couldn’t play football I wanted to be dead. After years of taking anti depressants and having many sessions of bereavement counselling to get over the loss of my career, I have finally returned to the game.”
