The practice plan below is adopted from the Calsouth U8 Recreational practice activities. There are 35 practice activity videos designed for use by coaches.

The instructional videos were created expressly to aid coaches in teaching simple field activities to novice players that will strengthen their skills in dribbling, ball control and running with the ball. 

The 35 recreational practice activity videos can be viewed on Cal South's YouTube channel page at:

How to use these practice activities?

To help coaches structure full practices based on a variety of these activities, Cal South has built a series of 10 lesson plan PDFs -- each one 45 minutes in combined length -- for coaches to download, print and use.

Links to the videos for each activity are embedded within the lesson plans for ease in viewing while online.
