In the dog's defense, it's a pretty tall order to expect any 6 month old dog, with even moderate prey drive, to be able to ignore children running and kicking soccer balls. At 6 months old, he is old enough for a prong collar, but I'd spend a lot of time practicing focus, and not depend on the collar as a crutch.

I don't know what "clip" that is, but I would use a flat buckle collar and a leather leash.
