Creating a Culture of Bravery on the Ball — 6 questions — 80% required to advance
1.You are running a Forms 4v4 session with U10 players. A player attempts a difficult dribble move and loses the ball. Two teammates groan loudly. What should you do as the Forms coach?
2.What is the most important thing a Forms coach can do to create bravery on the ball in a U8 4v4 session?
3.In a Forms 4v4 session, a U9 player always plays it safe — short passes, no dribbling, stays in open space. What game constraint could you use to encourage bravery?
4.Why does the Forms method consider a 'safe' player (one who never loses the ball but never takes risks) a concern at the U8-U10 level?
5.You are coaching a Forms 4v4 session with U11 players. One player is clearly the most skilled and dribbles past everyone easily. How do you challenge this player within the Forms framework?
6.A new U7 player joins your Forms 4v4 session and is visibly nervous — they avoid the ball and stand on the edge. What is the Forms approach to building their confidence?
