I’ll often have the player who was fouled take it. The top clubs never do this but maybe this is a better approach for this age group? I’d appreciate your thoughts?” I recently had a parent (who is also an assistant coach), suggest that the player to take it should be the player that drew the foul as a reward for their hard work. I usually say that whoever is in the striker position at the time that the PK is awarded is to take the kick, although I’m thinking of rotating this duty. My approach to PK’s is that this is a set piece situation, and I like to address all duties, roles, and responsibilities ahead of our games so that players can take this into account in their pre game preparation. “ My questions is around the selection of who takes a PK. He’s asking about how I choose which player will take a PK Tune into this episode to hear my takeaways from Saturday and Sunday. I can only hope that the parents (at least some of them) on the other team recognized the difference in approach and get their daughter in a program that focuses on player development and not game results. I’m sure the coach didn’t care if he had my respect or not. Beat my teams with good soccer and I’ll tell you, ‘Good Game!’ and try to learn from the experience but play for a result at U11 and you will not have my respect. At the highest level you need to play games to get results at times but NOT AT U11! It drives me crazy to play against teams like these. I accept that not everyone feels that way. I know that I am a ‘coaching snob’ I think that kids should be taught to play the game positively with creativity and flair. If we won it then they hoped to pressure us into coughing it up on our half so they could shot. When they did get possession the ball was kicked forward and chased down. Their goal was to simply to force us into mistakes that they would try to take advantage of. On Friday one of my teams had an opponent that relied almost exclusively on aggression and physicality to play the game. Today I thought I’d pull out one takeaway that I had from each day. Two games Friday, two Saturday and 4 on Sunday. Last weekend I had eight games from Friday through Sunday.
