Hi Margaret,

Here are some tips for engaging U11s:

Keep it Fun: Incorporate games, challenges, and friendly competitions to make the session enjoyable.

Variety is Key: Switch between different activities to keep their attention. Short, focused drills work well.

Positive Reinforcement: Praise effort, improvement, and good sportsmanship. Create a positive and encouraging environment.

Use Imagery and Themes: Incorporate themes or imaginative elements into drills to make them more engaging for younger players.

Short Breaks: Include short breaks to allow players to rest and hydrate, ensuring they stay energized throughout the session.

Inclusive Approach: Ensure that all players, regardless of skill level, feel included and valued.

Adaptability: Be flexible in adjusting activities based on the energy levels and interests of the players.

Hope this helps.
