Coaches please listen to the audio file from our AYSO National Coach John Ouellette with regard to “blowouts.”


Take the opportunity to challenge and advance your players in a game that is a potential blowout.

A potential blowout is a game that is 3-0 anytime during the first half of the game.

Challenge 1: give all your players an opportunity to score a goal.

Challenge 2: have your players take shots outside the 18 yard line.

Challenge 3: determine what you need to work on and challenge your players (next goal needs to come from a cross, a through ball, or have them play 3-touch soccer and see if they can maintain control of the ball and score, etc.)

Hey Coach!

"What is the best way to deal with blow-outs? And how do I motivate players after a blowout?"

Click here for the audio link to John's answer.

Thanks!
John Ouellette
AYSO National Coach
