In recreational soccer you shouldn't worry much about soccer positions until age 8 or 9. However, I think it is important to teach the "concept" of offense and defense starting at U6. What I mean is to teach that there are soccer "attackers" and "defenders". I see no benefit to teaching "herd ball" as the way to play soccer.
My players' left sleeves look like checkerboards of patches! They love them. Coach Doug, USA
Teaching Movement Off the Ball - The keyto Creating Space in Soccer Games.
I've ordered the V patches for my girls U12 soccer team so they can remember their 1st Place Victory in the end of the year tournament.
Most productive way to coach U-4 and U-6 soccer so it is more fun for the kids and develops better core soccer skills.
I have started buying your patches over the past two seasons and the feedback has been tremendous. -Jodie, New South Wales, Australia
The patch system is my favorite motivational system to use for soccer and all other sports. The system can easily be adapted for other sports.
