The First-Time U7 & U8 Football Coach: A Practical Grassroots Guide to Fun Training Sessions, 3v3 & 5v5, Match Days and Keeping Young Players Engaged

The First-Time U7 & U8 Football Coach is a practical paperback guide for parents and volunteers taking on U7 or U8 grassroots football in England. It covers preparing the first session, keeping young players involved, match days, communicating with parents, safety, planning training and working with mixed abilities.

Inside are 12 ready-to-run sessions covering ball confidence, dribbling, passing, shooting and small-sided games; guidance for U7 3v3 and U8 5v5; and a 20-tool First Season Toolkit. Coaching points are explained in simple language. It is written for first-time parent or volunteer coaches rather than listing hundreds of drills. Sample pages can be viewed on the K.D.Publishing website.
