Tonight was my 5 year olds 1st football (real football LOL) game here in the USA with his team, Im absolutely gutted as i thought he would do well but his team got completely humbled about 11 - 1.

Now his team are aged between 4 - 6 so I dont expect world beaters but my boy is alot better when he plays at home on his own but doesn't reflect this on the field of play, with him being younger he tends to lose concentration and not pay attention to whats going on.

Does anybody know of any good readage whether it be online or printed on paper that can help me to teach him some football skills and to concentrate and enjoy the game?

Maybe I can give his coach a heads up also as the kids have no concept of what is going on yet the other team were the same age and we 10 times better.

hmm, was it your sons teams first game? End of the day there only 5 and its nothing too serious . Im not sure how much a coach could do with a bunch of 5 yr olds ? maybe that team had just been playing alot longer than your sons? or maybe they have a few better players, i wouldnt worry too much why there soo young m8, its all about having fun!
