I coach U11-U12 girls Rec. Its my fix when I have no football.
So first thing is watch out for Crazy Parents..... It will happen. Just keep your cool and work the problem.
I don't preach winning I preach fundamentals. If they do the work in practice winning will take care of it self. If they lose the game but played hard...to me that's a win.
Find your weakest player, and try working with them a little more. Your team is only as good as your weakest player.
Force kids to do things out of their comfort zone. Like someone said earlier , non dominant foot drills, different positions, keeping possession. kids love to kick it away from them.
Above all else Have Fun. The biggest reward is when you see the team come together and perform something you taught them.
