Message: [QUOTE="Hey Adrien!, post: 4044077, member: 5787"] Entering Year 12 at my current school and after a decade of coaching fall cross country, our program has been shelved for the fall. I'm bummed: we have a very good program and it's such a relaxing sport to coach. Our AD, who is a soccer guy, is worried about #s. If we have XC, usually a popular sport, then we might not have enough players to field all four of our soccer teams. With XC on hold, I've been asked to coach 5th/6th grade boys' soccer. I have basically zero experience: I stopped playing when I was 12, don't generally care for the sport and starting from scratch on a coaching perspective. Basically, I'm Ted Lasso. Any ideas in terms of drills and/or coaching strategies for this level will be greatly appreciated! [/QUOTE]
