Football/Soccer Session (Advanced): Technique competition

Screen 1 (15 mins)

Technique and football specific interval runs competition. 5 'stations' either in pairs, or in threes.

2 minutes of continuos work each station before rotation.

1) Top left. Players have to attempt to pass the ball and make it stop in the red box. After their pass and the ball stops, they must collect ball and sprint to opposite pole and start again from other side.

2) Big goal with 2 orange cones in corners. One player starts on pole facing goal with the ball, the shooter starts on pole nearest goal with their back to goal. The server with the ball plays a pass to the shooter, who plays a ball back to the server. The shooter then runs towards the server, and the server plays an angled pass down the side of the shooter. The shooter turns after the ball, hits a shot and tries to hit the cones in the corner. They then sprint round one of the poles next to the goal, and then back into the middle to serve for the other player.

3) Red box in bottom right hand corner. How many 1 touch passes can the pair complete in 2 minutes? When they get to every 25 they must turn and run over the hurdles and back again into the box.

4) Small goal on halfway line. Shooter starts on either red disc. The server plays a ball to the shooters back foot as they check away to receive the ball, and pass into the goal second touch. They then sprint round the goal and change places with the server.

5) Small goal in bottom left corner. Shooter starts behind the hurdle. Server starts on either red disc. Server passes ball towards hurdle. Shooter jumps the hurdle and has quick feet with ball through the poles before passing into small goal and sprinting around the goal to become the server.
