Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Passing Mock camp day rough draft

Warm up

Organization:

20x 20 area

1 player with pinnie

1 ball in grdi

Balls in each corner of the field

Instructions:

1 player (tagger) has ball.

Usingdifferent passing techniques player must strike theg ball at other players

If player is struck then he/she puts on a pinnie and becomes a teammate

Players must be struck below waistline and non pinnie players must always have one foot on the ground at all times (avoids jumping over the pass)

Coaching Points:

It's a warmup so those players without the ball must be moving with soccer like movements

When striking the ball can we identify the approipate technique to use

-Balance when striking the ball

-Area we strike teh ball

Standing foot where is it pointed?

- Can the players who have been tagged begin supporting ball carrier and setting up a better pass

Progressions:

- For every even player we incorporate a ball. I.E 2 players 1 Ball, 4 players 2 balls

- Players only have two touches

Main Theme

Organization:

We combine two 10 x 10 grids together making the bigger 10x20 grid

6 possession players 2 defensive players

1 ball

balls on outside for use

Instructions:

Progress on from the 3 vs 1 players now keep ball against 2 defenders

if defenders win the ball they can play to eachother for a point

Coaching Points:

Can players recognize the space being bigger?

Bigger space allows more power in our passes

Demands more accuracy

Gives us freedom of different techniques

However do we still do the basics right

Progressions:

Again limit touches
