I coached soccer from like U-8 all the way to high school levels for a couple years.
Every practice, I wrote down a schedule, and shared with players before they ran to begin practice.
Didn’t care about winning necessarily at youth and jv levels. Just wanted to teach the “game”.
The fundamentals. The “plays” (offsides trap, overlap, positioning, etc).

At varsity, obv winning came into play.

This gets lost in 2024. Too much trying to "win" at younger ages and fundamentals don't get taught. Or if they do, they are specific to winning at a certain age level that don't translate to older age levels. You did it right.
