This section will provide you with training games recommended by the AYSO National Coaching Advisory Commission to help the players practice their skills. The games are grouped according to the skill that they will most effectively help to teach. “The game itself is the teacher!” Despite all of the coaching techniques that can be utilized, nothing will ever teach young players more effectively than just letting them play. You can be creative with the names of the games and modify them. Change the speed, space, and opposition as you and your players begin to feel comfortable with them.
