1] As with classroom lessons, many soccer drills fail to 'engage' participants.
2] Like the chalkboard/smartboard, many skills are practiced with the active involvement of only one person at a time.
3] Just as most students are required to be on the same page at the same time, youth soccer sees most players follow the ball as a 'hive' in lieu of playing independent positions.
4] If things aren't interesting enough, the kids will find their own entertainment to replace game/practice activities.
5] Similar to the anticipation of recess, the highlight of most games is the half-time snack break!
Do you see any other parallels?

A good coach and good teacher would use the partner method occasionally to increase participation. The collaborative method works wonders for engagement and skill development.
