The Ball is Mine
The basics of this section are from my coaching notes from the 1998 Long Island Junior Soccer League convention. At that convention I saw Frank Schmidt, head coach tof the Boys New York State HS champion Sachem Arrows, take a group of Under 9 girls and show them how to get the ball and to keep it after they got it.
Since that time I have given these notes out well over 100 times to coaches around the country and around the world. I have received back comments and additional ideas which I have added to the basic things I learned from Frank.
The first part of the series Basics of Shielding the Ball is available at this link.
Please take the time to look through the offerings here and comment on them on the Message Board
Thanks

50-50 Ball and a Fair Charge
Soccer is a physical game, but it also has rules. This handout explains how a referee generally looks at a charge to determine if it is a "fair" one.
Remember a 50-50 ball is just that..a ball up for grabs. Make sure your player is the one that gets it.

50-50 Ball - Bang! and Steal the Bacon
Bang is a great game suggested by Bob Christensen of the Mandan (ND) Soccer Club. This teaches aggression, but controlled aggression and is a lot of fun.
Steal the Bacon was one of my daughter's favorites when she was a U9.

The following games and exercises were part of Frank Schmidt's original 1998 LIJSL clinic/seminar.
They are wonderful teaching tools on how to maintain possession and increase the aggressive spirit.

Agressiveness
This is a simple game suggested by Coach Jeff Benjamin to help instill agressiveness in teams that are sometimes too passive.
