Warm-Up

Set up

- 1 box 20x20

Dynamic warm up

- Each player with a ball, dribbling

- 1st stage - lots of touches, choosing one part of the foot

- Dribbling inside the space, counting their touches

- 2nd stage - choose a 2nd / 3rd part of the foot - repeat - counting the touches

* Every 1 minute, stop and incorporate physical literacy - dynamic movement - shuffle to the nearest touch-line. Knees up, heels up, backward, etc.

2nd progression

- Inside the same box, select 3 defenders and have the attacking team play a keep-away (possession)

- Focus on the movement off of the ball and limiting touches

* Each time they make a pass, they must run around a cone in the corner and get back into play to support the players *

* Focus on high-intensity- getting the boys energy up *

Zone Play

Set-Up

3 zones, 10 x 20

12 balls - with the coach on the middle

Activity

- 3 zones, middle grid is the defending grid

- 1 ball is played in to the outter grid (ex. Blue)

- Blue looks to complete 3 passes (to start) before being able to look up to switch the ball into the opposing third (Black)

- 1 completion of a switch = 1 point

- Defending team sends one player into defend

- If the defending team wins possession or ball goes out of bounds, the attacking team becomes the defending team, and the two switch out

Progression

- Limit the touches in the grid - 2-3 touches max per player

- (Forcing them to play quick and make quicker decisions)

Coaching Points

- Looking to have limited touches on the ball and look for the opportunity to break the mid-line (gap between the defenders)

- Looking to coach getting the head up, see the option, play it first time (refrain from holding the ball for extra touches)

- Movement off of the ball - distance of support (10 yards or so)

- Angle of support - not flat, fall off on an angle

- 12 balls on the side

Activity

Looking to play through the middle third and transition into attacking third for 2v1

- Grid B - 4v4 - looking to play and create combination play and look for the opportunity to transition to combine with a target player in the attacking zones (A/C)

- Target A/C - each have one target pllayer (red/blue)

- When the players from the B see an opportunity, they look to play target man and join to support for a 2v1 situation to goal ** THEY HAVE 2 OPTIONS TO CREATE A 2V1 - DECISION MAKING - UNDERSTANDING WHERE/WHEN TO ATTACK **

* If no success, add 1 neutral player into grid B*

Progression

- Put a limit on the passes (3 passes and the break the line)

- incoporate goalkeepers and look to incorporate a 3 v 1 or 3v2 defending

Coaching Points

- Movement off of the ball - creating space to stretch the opponent and create gaps to break the defending line

- Limiting the touches, taking less touches and having a plan before your next move - (getting the head up, recieving and playing on the 2nd touch)

- Weight of the pass

- Transition - Looking to create the 2v1 opportunity as quick as possible (Speed of transition)
