Under 6 Lesson Plans In order to make practices run smoothly and be fun, it is important for us to have a basic understanding of the intellectual, emotional and physical developmental stage of the players we are coaching. Here are some typical characteristerics of the Under 6 player. Focused on themselves – reality to them is based on what they see and feel Unable to see the world from another’s perspective Everything is in the here and now Cooling systems are less efficient - need frequent water breaks Enjoy playing, not watching. Every player should have a ball in practice Limited attention span - keep directions concise and to the point Effort is performance – if they try hard, they are doing well Active imaginations – utilize their imaginations in activities, they will love practice! Look for adult approval – be encouraging when they say “Coach, look what I can do!” Unable to think abstractly – spatial relationships are a mystery Typically have 2 speeds -- extremely fast and stopped Usually unaware of game scores – keep it that way Below are 8 Lesson Plans designed specifically for the U6 player.
