I looked into getting qualified to coach kids teams a few years ago. While the SFA had some courses available and would accommodate, it meant travelling some distance to do it. Then there's the finance involved in starting a club, running it and dealing with the legal side (I.e disclosure checks on all/any volunteers. Registering and getting into a league etc). It's much more than a one man job, and finding volunteers to help out was not gona be easy. That's before u even factor in the difficulties outlined here re parents and the attitude of kids today.
My son is 7 and is now starting to take a real interest in playing football. He wants to join a team so I looked into it. The only boys club with a team for his age group us Airdrie Utd (boak). Even then, how do I know they are coaching him the right way? I think I have a fair idea of how young kids should be coached, much of it outlined here. Start with the basics, develop the ability to use both feet while doing so, develop skills and understanding about the game (how to play positions (all positions, no such thing as a midfielder or defender prior to the teenage years).
When at that point, start to play 5 and 7 aside games against team mates (really just a bunch of lads who go to the same place to learn how to play football) and then introduce them to playing 11aside games against other teams in pitches scaled to size for the age group (this would allow them to learn how to play as a team, play the positions properly (rotating the positions each play plays)).
Only when they get to under14/15 level should kids be playing on a full sized 11 aside pitch. By that time they will have developed physically, technically and have a greater understanding of how the game should be played. Also, by playing different positions when younger, and developing the ability to use both feet at the very basic level when first starting to play the game, the standard should be greatly improved.
For now I will coach my son at the basics stage, using both feet, knowing what part of the foot to use for specific passes/shots/skills and how to tackle...and how to enjoy playing. You know what they say, 'those who can, do. Those who can't (me) teach'
