Soccer Coaching Young Girls: Gender Issues

Soccer coaching young girls is different from coaching soccer drills to young boys. The basic different lies in the ways soccer girls and soccer boys take the game.

Let me give you a brief insight...

• In comparison to boys, it has been found that soccer girls are more analytical in nature.

• Boys generally take things at the face value while the girls tend to ask questions, such as why, how, etc. They will ask why they should do a particular soccer drill, what is the benefit, etc.

• Girls are also more concerned towards the unity of the team.

• Good news for you is that girls are also very good at fair play. They do not believe in foul play and their focus is always on fair play.

• What is more, when it comes to soccer coaching young girls, you will find that girls also tend to take responsibilities for their mistakes.

• On the other hand, boys will never blame themselves for their bad performance. Instead, they will blame the referee, the weather and even the coaches!

• However, for boys, winning the match is everything. On the other hand, girls have more focus on playing a fair game. They lack aggression.

Learning how to coach soccer to young girls is important and starts by understanding these simple differences.
