Kick the ball out to the sides, for a safe play that allows us to advance up the field. |
If the player taking the goal kick cannot get the ball to the wide players, the wide players need to move in closer, but always remain out to the sides, not directly in front of the goal or hidden behind opposing players.
Ideally, the more forward players at top, center, would advance ahead of the wide player who gets the ball, so the advancing, forward players could receive a pass back to the center of the field, right in front of the opposing team's goal and take a shot. But, getting 7 and 8-year-olds to plan that far ahead and really grasp good passing techniques is quite a challenge.
