Coaching young kids soccer: Fundamentals

💬 [きほん] is usually written with kanji as [基本]. You'll hear it for the basic way to do something: [サッカーの基本] or [日本語の基本].

💬 [やろう] is the casual "let's do it" form of [やる]. You can swap in other verbs the same way: [行こう] "let's go," [見よう] "let's watch."

💬 [を] marks the thing you do an action to: [ボールを見ます] "look at the ball," [パスをします] "make a pass." It's written [を] but said (o).

💬 [やろう] is a casual "let's..." form, so [〜をやろう] is a natural way to rally kids into the next activity. You can reuse the pattern with other nouns: [ドリブルをやろう] or [ゲームをやろう].

🇯🇵 This sounds upbeat and coach-like with kids. To adults or in more formal settings, [やりましょう] would land more politely.

🇯🇵 [はい] isn't only "yes"—with kids it's also a common quick response meaning "okay" or "ready." In group coaching, adults often use it to get everyone's attention before the next instruction.

💬 [なに] becomes [なにを] here because [を] marks what you're doing. The same pattern shows up in [なにを見ますか] "what will you look at?"
