Warm-Up (10 mins)

Set Up:

- 4 different colour cones (4/5 of each colour)

- each player with a ball

- small space (10yds x 15yds)

Objective:

- use of space and cognitive awareness

Instructions:

- all players start on a coloured cone

- coach calls an order each player must follow - the player starts based on whatever cone they are standing next to

- each player will start by following the pattern the coach calls out - ie. red, yellow, blue, white and then starts again from the beginning until the next pattern is called out

- when the player arrives at a cone they tap the top and move onto the next cone

*Progression - make the pattern more complicated - ie. duble colours or extend the pattern (blue, yellow, white, blue, red)

- add the ball - every player is now dribbling in the space with the ball following the pattern

- add actions for specific colour cones if time permits depending on progression progress

Coaching Points:

- focus

- memory/pattern recall

- increase speed of thought processing - movement between cones is with game speed and recall of pattern must increase

Save Image: Football/Soccer Session Plan Drill (Colour): Ball Skills Create Video:

Ball Skills (10 mins)

Objective:

- Controlling the ball, using the bounce, ball mastery/reaction timing/anticipation

Instructions:

Hold the ball with both hands and it let drop to the ground.

1.) After one bounce, tap the ball back up and catch (bounce-foot-catch)

2.) Rather than catch the ball, let it bounce, tap it again, then catch (bounce-foot-bounce-foot-catch)

3.) Increase the number of bounces and taps before catching the ball to 3, then 4 etc.

4.) Add an extra tap before catching the ball - tap the ball twice before it bounces (bounce-foot-foot-catch), then 3 times etc.

Coaching Points:

- focus on touches on the ball

- focus on control of the ball throughout (no drop kicking/swinging at the ball)

- anticipate the ball movement

Focus Skills (20 mins)

Set up:

Players line up in single file, all players with ball

Instructions:

Players line up in single file line in front of the coach with a ball at their feet

Coach names each sideline as different football team/country/city

On the coach's call, players will perform toe taps, inside bells on the spot

Coach will add actions that the players have to perform on the shout

Eg.

Down - Touch the floor with one hand

Right - Put your right hand up

Left - Put your left hand up

Spin - 180 turn

On the call of the teams/country/city the players will sprint to that line and back - dribbling the ball

Make it competitive after 2/3 rounds - ie. last person back is out

After 4/5 rounds, calls are opposite, so if Coach says Scotland, players must run to Itlay and vice versa

Coaching Points:

- FUN

- Quick reactions

- Focus!

- Anticipation

Football/Soccer Session Plan Drill (Colour): Scrimmage
Save Image: Football/Soccer Session Plan Drill (Colour): Scrimmage Create Video:

Scrimmage (20 mins)

- reinforce spacing/positioning - not crowding the ball

- practice accuracy - scoring a goal by knocking the ball off the cone with the game ball

- let the ball do the work - don't chase the ball around the field

- LOOK FORWARD FIRST! - can we move the ball in a positive direction first, only look for a negative pass when you have no other options

*key words for "coach over" underlined - avoid stopping the scrimmage as much as possible
