Football training ideas for kids

Basic Info
1: Primary school students practicing football should not have physical strength training, and physical fitness training should mainly focus on agility and coordination.
2: The practice of basic skills should account for over 70% of the entire training plan.
3: Adversarial practice is not beneficial for large venues.
4: 99% of all training should be combined with the ball (including physical training).
5: The training center should focus on enhancing children's interests and fun, cultivating their competitive awareness, and fully providing space for their football talents.
The main body of children's activities is the children themselves, and the motivation for children to participate in football activities is children's autonomy. The development of children's football activities is carried out in children's games. Therefore, it is important to always consider whether children have fun playing games and whether they have received physical exercise. For example, in the "chasing the ball" activity, having children play games in the form of competitions suddenly raises their competitive awareness, fully mobilizing their enthusiasm, and reflecting the effectiveness of exercise in the game.
Additionally, encourage children to actively participate in the design and preparation of football games. Wherever possible, opportunities should be provided for children to choose, plan, prepare, and make decisions on their own, making them the main participants in football activities.

Firstly, participate in the development of activity plans

Before the game activity, you can ask children, "How do you want to play today's football game?" When choosing the activity area, you can ask, "Where are you planning to play?" This process provides children with an opportunity to discuss and plan, allowing them to clarify their activities and gradually implement the plan. Parents also know what they will observe afterwards and in what areas they should help guide their children.

Secondly, preparation and arrangement for participating in activities

Now, in addition to providing necessary and excessively large and heavy machinery, we also guide children to use their brains to imagine design by proposing tasks. When carrying out the "overhead ball" activity, parents ask a question: How can we make your head accurately hit the ball when we head the ball? How to set up the venue? What do you need to add? The children's interests are high, they discuss with each other, their thinking is active, and they quickly set it up, developing their creativity and hands-on abilities.

Finally, participate in the organization and design of the event

In football games, children should be more guided to participate in the organization and design of activities, to explore and think, and to develop their imagination. If it's just mechanical imitation, then even if children learn what to do, they don't understand why they do it. Over time, children will develop dependency and affect the development of subjectivity.
Therefore, in order to transform children from "passive" to "active", it is necessary to give them opportunities for independent activities and encourage them to organize, design, and create various gameplay. If we provide each child with a plastic bag, some children think of putting the ball inside, carrying it in their hands and kicking it, while others think of being able to hold the ball and hang it up to do head to head ball, etc.
It can be seen that children have changed from passive imitation to active participation in design, and they have learned actively, easily and happily. After the event, children can also participate in the organization and evaluation of the activity. When children are organizing, they should be encouraged and given appropriate help, rather than standing idly by or taking care of everything. Similarly, when summarizing, one should also accept the evaluations and words spoken by the children; We cannot expect every child to evaluate in the same way.
Designing Football activities to increase children's interest can be done from the following aspects:

1、 How to create a football atmosphere

Children must have a good environment when starting to play football.

(1) Create a football atmosphere in the activity venue

Post training posters of football stars, national flags, team emblems, logos, and various playful kicking movements on the activity venue, and set up multiple football activity areas. For example, "obstacle avoidance zone", "shooting zone", "dribbling over a mountain hole zone", "dribbling over a small bridge zone", etc.

(2) Creating a football atmosphere

Post celebrity posters, perform playful actions, and set up activity areas. For example, using the hallway to lift the ball and let the children touch it with their heads and feet, and using the staircase floor in the park to draw a football for the children to walk and jump on the ball. Regularly hold fun football matches, which can be divided into annual groups. Organize children to watch major global and domestic football events, etc.

2、 The Gameplay of Football Activities

The basic movements of football practice
It is composed of four actions: "movement", "transmission", "stop", and "shooting". How to transform the four basic movements into game forms is the first consideration for young children to practice football.
For example, when children start practicing, due to their lack of understanding of Football, they only know how to kick or racket with their feet. At this point, children can carry their hands behind their backs and place many balls on the ground, allowing them to kick freely. They can also learn to walk with their feet clamped like crabs, which can make children feel that kicking balls with their feet is actually very fun.

When practicing football, one should set aside some professional language

For example, "dribbling the ball on the inner and outer sides of the foot" can be said to drive the pig away, "dribbling on the inner and outer sides of the foot" can be said to use the foot to roll a snowball, "using the foot to rub the ball back" can be said to massage the football, "protecting the ball on the inner and outer sides" can be said to use the small foot to protect the ball, and so on. Using such words can further increase children's interest in football.
Children all like to play football, and happy children certainly won't miss it. During infancy, the most common way for babies is to observe the ball, or to chew and bite it, in order to understand the shape, color, smell, and touch of the ball. And 2-3 year old children can already start playing football, which is also a game that most children love.
Playing football can help children develop their lower limb coordination and running abilities, as well as develop their intelligence. At the same time, it can also help children with football talent to lay a good foundation.
Playing football becomes more accurate around the age of 6, and by around the age of 8, they can experience the true joy of playing football because they can master the skills of playing.

However, how to teach children to play football?

Of course, it is still necessary to guide children's interest in playing football through games, so that they can enter the world of football.

1. Kick a big ball

When children first start learning, the accuracy of playing small balls is very poor, and always unsuccessful can make them impatient. However, playing large balls can enhance their confidence and make them fall in love with playing football. The operation method is very simple. Prepare a large plastic or leather ball for the child, first demonstrate the method of standing still or running up, then gently roll the ball towards him. Although it may be a bit stumbling at first, the happy baby can ignore it and quickly fall in love with playing Football.

2. Kicking the net pocket ball

A normal ball can be placed in a net pocket, slightly off the ground. A ball that appears to be stationary can be easily kicked by children, but can still be held in place or run up. Encourage children to play football continuously, allowing them to feel the power that the speed of the ball brings to their feet. Kicking more times will have a more noticeable effect.

3. Dribbling game

On the ground, there are large squares, rectangles, triangles, and so on, allowing children to gently touch the ball along the line, with one foot or alternating. During the process of playing football, gradually experience the strength of your feet and how to control the ball from running out of the line. In fact, this is the process of learning dribbling.

4. Cooperate in playing football

Playing football where you come and I go is the real way on the field, so you can play a game of playing against each other with children, kicking each other at a distance. This game can be played by two people, or a few children and adults can play together, one passing the other, and the happiness doubles.
Playing football is not only loved by boys, but also by girls in their early childhood. However, most boys continue their interest into adulthood. Therefore, playing football is the best game for children, and teaching them to play football is not difficult, as long as they have the intention to integrate into the game, it will be much simpler.
