Like a kids first day at school, the first day of football training could be quite daunting for the kid. They will be meeting new players, the coach will be new to them and also it may well be the first time they have actually played football. So it very important as a coach that the introductions are made quite early and the kid feels part of the team as early as you can. As most of the surroundings will be very unfamiliar to them and they will be eager to take in new instructions and learn new skills. Therefore it is best not to leave them hanging around the touch line, and get them into the training as quickly as possible.
We all sort of know the feeling when we go to a party with a friend and the friend knows everyone but you don't know anyone. It takes a little time to adjust as even the conversations going on may be unfamiliar to you as the other parties will all know each other and have their own circle of friends. Now a new kid who joins a new football training session for the first time would probably feel in a very similar way. So get them introduced to all the other kid as soon as possible and get them straight into the training so they don't feel like they are the lemon at the party.
The first job is to formally introduce yourself and any assistant coaches if you have already selected them. A school teacher would not give a reading test to a school student on the first day without first introducing themselves and the same goes for a football coach.
Try and gather your team in a quiet place where they can hear you properly. If you are in a place where there is another game going on behind you then the kids will probably be more interested in the game instead of you, so make sure you choose a spot where they can hear you properly and you can get a few pointers across before the training starts.
Check for things like where the sun is shining before you talk to them. The last thing you want is the sun glaring into their eyes, so all they see is a silhouette of you as they are squinting at the sun. Also if your kids are under 8years old it would be a good idea to kneel down to their level so they don't have to talk up to you. Get all these things right and you will off to a good start with your first football training session.
