Coaching Advice:

In many sports Officiating is blamed for the outcome of the game.  Very rarely does a Soccer Official really affect the outcome of a soccer match.  Remember the two goals of any soccer official is to keep the game flowing and going and to decide "ADVANTAGE".  Advantage can only be decided by who had the ball at the time of the infraction and who ends up with the ball after the infraction.  These events do not necessarily occur at the same time.  Advantage and keeping the game going may go "hand in hand".  So don't be too quick to call for a foul for that may be what affects your team.  Besides yelling at the Official is a bad example to set.

Coaching Tip:

When setting up a training, plan out your spaces carefully and in advance.  Having your training spaces planned will make your transition from one activity to the next smooth and will keep the kids interested. 

When you set up a training grid for small children, it is best to show them by having follow you from point to point on the grid so they visualize the area.
