|
| *We use coach roll in/coach kick in for the following reasons: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 1) To keep the game flowing, allow for more touches on the ball. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 2) To allow coaches to get the ball to players who may not be involved as much |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3) Because younger players (4 and 5 year olds) have a harder time with the concept of soccer movement and soccer anticipation which is required for restarts. |
