For the first two weeks, review the U5 skills they have learned:
These three skills can be incorporated into pretty much all stations, by just yelling out every once in a while, show me your tip taps, tic tacs, or pull backs
For all stations demonstrate what they need to do, this would be a good use of the youth coach and maybe a few parents. No matter how simple it seems to you it needs to be demonstrated.
As a group please keep an eye on the time and rotate at the right times. Kids just can bring their water bottles with them to each station and have a drink in between.
Each coach will adapt the stations to meet their needs which is fine, but try and follow the basic premise.
At this age it is still a lot about physical literacy as well as soccer skills. Kids need to learn how to run, jump, hop, skip, roll, throw, etc. Using how different animals move is a fun way to do this: hop like a bunny, or frog, slither like a snake, crawl like a bear, etc.
Please try and make sure you use your youth coach and encourage them to get involved as they may be shy. Bring lots of ENERGY and HAVE FUN!
