Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): Hello Session (Start Time: 2016-10-14 12:05:00)

Hello1 (20 mins)

Organization:

15 x 20 grids

3 yards gates on the endline

Groups of 3-4 setup as shown

Each player has a ball

Instructions:

1. Defending player passes the ball to the attacking player.

2. Defender immediately presses the attacking player on their first touch.

3. Attacking player looks to score by dribbling through a gate.

4. If defender wins ball they get a point for dribbling it past the opposite end line.

Coaching Points:

1. Attacking player head up to assess where the open gate is. If we don't have our head up we will not know where the space to attack.

2. Drive at the defending player to commit them, if we drive directly at them they don't know where we intend on attacking.

Shoulder Feint:

> Unbalance defender with body movement (Use of body to sell the fake).

> Final touch with the outside surface of the foot

> Final touch out of feet and at an angle to beat the defender

Inside-Outside:

> Hop on non - kicking foot, to sell to the defender that you are moving in that direction.

> Use of body to sell the move and unbalance the defender (High to low)

> Pull the ball across at a forward angle with the inside of your foot.

> Exit touch with the outside surface of the foot as the player drags the ball across and it begins to round the big toe.
