Description

Heads and Volleys is a grassroots Soccer game that reflects the youth soccer environment. The game was played as everyone VS the GK and you could only score with a header or a volley. Simple, right? Wrong. It was complex and fraught with arguments that resulted in 'taking my ball home' or some kind of one-off shot to determine if it was a goal or not. Much like those arguments, this podcast will embrace discussions, trends, and ideas to grow the game, and will not let anyone take their ball home early.

91. Is It Game Like?

2025/12/05

Game Like isn't just about creating a replica of the game in training. It's relating the game to the training in as many ways as possible.

Not just moving the ball, or moving players. Soft skills are about people, and relationships. They are about building community, and developing an environment that support your players goals, and your team goals. Here are there tools, connected to the 6 tasks of a coach. @leedunnesoccer

89. Knowledge AND Wisdom

88. Organization is EVERYTHING

2025/11/07

Organization is EVERYTHING. From level 1 of players in pinnies and balls set out. To level 2 - players playing in their positions and not just running around. To level 3 - style of play, game plan and execution! @leedunnesoccer

82. Ref!!!

2024/04/12

You know those ref's who are out to get you and the team you coach? Not really... @leedunnesoccer
