The team I coach is getting smashed at the contest. I've focussed on getting hands on the ball and ball distribution (handballing at ground level, tapping on/out and positional awareness), but we're struggling to stop the opponent when they have the ball. Under 10s aren't allowed to the take the opposition to the ground, which I agree with, but adds another element to teach.
A part of me thinks it's actually attitude more than skill that's letting us down. A distinct lack of controlled aggression is visible.
So, I'm looking for drills to employ and words of wisdom to take training. Any suggestions?
