I coached a team around this age and it can be hard to keep kids focused. In one game our team had the ball in the offensive end for most of the game but had trouble scoring. I was frantically trying to keep the kids focused and in position when one of the Dads tapped me on the shoulder and says:
“I know you’re focused on getting these kids to score and I’m not trying to tell you how to coach but when you get a second , take a look at your keeper.”
Which I did. And there he was hanging by his knees from the crossbar with his ankles all tangled up in the netting.
I said to the Dad:
“You are now an assistant coach and you’re in charge of the defense. Now do your job and get him down🤪”

That's my son in laws job, He owns a Soccer academy with over 400 kids with some 20 coaces. I don't know how they do it. Patience.... I do all their games & Tournaments and it can get pretty hectic when the parents ask for photos of their kids. Ya think you've seen it all...A lot can be had other than where the action is. Unfortunately everything is closed down right now. We'll see how the rest of the season goes if there will be one. We're 12 miles out of NYC so hummmm. My son in law is also the HS Varsity coach. So I get great access. He had me doing training video last year. Shooting every day down to nothing is really tough.
