It's essential to structure soccer practices according to the players' age, physical, and mental capacity. As a coach, look to put the players in the best situations for growth without the frustrations of practicing at a level too high, or too low for the player's age. A U17 soccer practice should look much different from U4 practice. At U4, you are just introducing players to the game, where at U17, you are focusing more on tactic than technical skills, such as dribbling.
