Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Avoid the earthquake

Avoid the earthquake

Organization:

30x30 space. One ball per player. Four boxes set up in each corner as shown above (7x7ish). Even amount of players in each box.

Instructions:

Players dribble around in their box. On coach's signal (earthquake starts), the players run with the ball to another box to avoid the earthquake. When they get into a new box, they are safe and can start dribbling around again. First person into the box earns one point.

Coaching Points:

- big touch into space

- small touches once players get close to each other

- keep their head up after each touch

Progressions/Regressions:

P- raise hand instead of giving an audio signal (so they need to keep their head up)

P- give them skill moves to do while in the boxes

R- less players/bigger space
