SOCCER COACHES MANUAL:6-9 year olds YMCA OF METROPOLITAN DENVER PDF
Key Idea: General Fitness Gather players into a group.
“In soccer, running makes our hearts beat faster, and kicking helps strengthen our leg muscles so we can kick the ball farther.
Spread out into your own space. Everyone run in place and I will pass the ball to some of you.
If you get the ball, pass it back to me and keep running!” Continue for about 30 seconds.
“Playing soccer improves our physical conditioning or fitness. We get better at running and kicking the ball, and can keep going longer before we get too tired.
How can I keep from getting too tired when I’m running?”
(Pacing themselves) “How about kicking?” (Practicing at home.)
“It’s also important to take a rest when you need one and to drink water during practice and at home.
We’ll talk more about the different areas of fitness in our fitness circles throughout the season.”
