Chop him down, a proper two footer, when he gets the ball.
Don't know how that will help, but DO IT!

Only play one and two touch football for all bar 5-10 mins of the game/session. Teach them about passing through people and how important movement is to a footballer. In that type of game the intelligent players shine more so than the physically gifted ones.
If the kid is a 'look at me' type he'll want to shine. If he sulks and sulks about it you will have to admit defeat I think because you can't coach a player who loves himself more than the game.

This. Start games with only 1 touch allowed, then build them into 2 touch, at the end 3 touch.
No offence mate but if you can get 10 year old kids playing 1 or 2 touch football then there is a job for you at klanfield lol.

The Chinese would belt them if they didn't co operate or couldn't do it, don't see why we shouldn't expect similar. Country's going soft ffs.

If the lad isn't already with a club by that age, his chances of ever making it are extremely slim anyway. The lads at the academies will be world's apart.
To be honest he doesn't sound like the nicest kid but it sounds like it's his attitude which you have the biggest problem with reading this thread. I'm not sure how Primary School teams work these days, but if you're only 18 you're obviously not a teacher and you don't have your level 1 coaching, what role do you have there? Student teacher?
As someone else said as he gets older and the kids get bigger, more intelligent, he'll have to adapt anyway.
Just encourage him to do the things he's good at now, try 3 touch football and if they can do that change it to 2 touch for a bit before taking the count off. He's forced to pass then or risk having zero affect on the game. Part of the issue could be that the rest of the team are crap anyway, so he doesnt want to pass cos they just lose it all the time. You said yourself it's only some people he doesn't pass to. Also with him not tracking back, what position does he play? He sounds like a striker with his attitude, if you want him to close down etc. have you tried to find out what motivates him? If he's a blue you could explain how Jelavic closes down, so that the team get the ball back quicker and you can only score when you have the ball. But don't talk it at him, ask him leading questions so he thinks he's worked it out for himself. Teach him to close down effectively and then if he does it and gets the ball off a defender make a point of praising him for it. Or praise the other kids way more when they do close down and track back.
I think it's all about motivation, you just need to find out what makes him tick, however arrogant his reasons may seem to you and then use that to get in his head to help mould him a little. But you have to remember to encourage him at what he is good at as well.

He is practising the most important technical aspect of the game - ball control. Encourage it. He is 9 years old for god's sake.
It is much easier to teach passing later on to someone who can control the ball than it is to teach ball control to a 13 year old.
As others have said if you must teach them about team play then do it through passing games but really I think you have to bear in mind the maturity levels of the kids you are working with.
After your doing level 1 maybe consider doing your YAMs instead of level 2.
A good website for you to consider
http://www.soccercoachingforums.com
where better coaches than me will give you loads of advice.
A good book to track down is Learn through Play (small sided games for football) by Paul Cooper.
Also this is a great blog

He is 11 and has been playing since he was 6 so I'd of thought he'd have developed more by now. I do have a problem with his attitude which needs to be curbed. There are local non league youth teams which are apparently willing to offer him a position but they are not at the moment. But I've done a bit of scouting for non league teams before so at the moment I can see that he isn't what they're looking for. I'm simply just trying to get him to the next stage of his game to help with that because no one seems willing to.
And I play him on the right wing which is why I have a problem with him not tracking back. Maybe I should consider changing him to a striker but if I stick him there I'm afraid the problems will only increase because then he will just continue to think he can do what he wants because I've just moved him from one place to another
And my role at the school is an classroom assistant, a position that I have held and been trained in since January.
Thanks for all the advice though lads
Now back to me lunch break
