Scrimmage Training

[Guest]

Why do coaches have players scrimmage for more than half the practice?

****ty coaching, poor practice planning, no football identity to implement. Could go on. But tldr is ****ty Coach.

I think it's lazy coaching and gives them a chance to check their phone and chat with other coaches/players. I don't think any parent should accept that as an appropriate level of coaching given what most of us pay for youth soccer.

If you look at any training session outside of US and the methodology emphasized by US Soccer, they all state to play for roughly 50% of practice to put into play what is worked on prior. Most of these kids aren’t at the park playing pickup or anything like that. They should scrimmage more and the scrimmage is used as a learning environment.

If the coach teaches the kids while scrimmaging then yes it can be good. But most coaches at MFS don’t talk to the kids while they scrimmage. No correction. That’s the problem I have with it.
