🗣️ BUILD IN CHAT TIME during your sessions! In my sessions, I actively encourage children to talk and communicate with their teammates, but I do it with intention. I create space for this during drinks breaks and other natural pauses in the session. These moments are perfect for helping children build stronger relationships and develop important social skills in a relaxed, natural way. It also reduces the amount of chatting during the main parts of the session. By giving them a chance to chat earlier, they’re more likely to come back onto the pitch focused and ready to listen. Try it out in your next session!
