Technical 1 (20 mins)

Technical - change of direction combination relays. Groups of 3 or 4 in a channel. 1 players starts at one end, dribbles to the furthest pair of cones in the middle of channel, performs a change of direction and performs another one quickly at the next set of cones in middle, then runs the ball down to the opposite end of the channel. When the worker has broken the line with their ball on opposite end, the next player goes. Continue back and forth for a set period of repetitions or time. Have to have 2 players at the end you want to start with.

Instruction points :

- outside cut (REACH & keep ball on end of foot)

- inside cut (stop ball on end of foot & get both feet behind the ball for side on stance)

- step over (quick big step around the ball, sell the exaggeration)

- run WITH the ball, not AFTER the ball! (I will disqualify players for this)

Technical 2 (20 mins)

Technical 2 - twist off diamonds. Can do review of all changes of directions to date (outside cut, inside cut, step overs) in triangle portion and progress to twist off. Groups of 3 or 4 players, 1st player dribbles towards one of the cones on an angle to them and performs the change of direction, dribbles back at pace to the start. The next player goes towards the opposite cone when the first player returns, now the players continue to alternate sides. If groups of 4, you need to mix up order of players periodically to get them working to both sides. Practice & then race. Progress to twaisting off to top cone & can have players either dribble ball back or pass now.

1v2 Octagon (25 mins)

1v2 Octagon. 3 teams (or 2 if you have 8 or less) compete to get highest score when the team in possession. Attacker in the middle has to dribble under control through any of the 4 wide gates for a point. As the ball is getting played in, the 2 defenders can come in to pressure the attacker to win the ball and stop the turn. When turn is over, next attacker comes into space and waiting players serve the ball immediately. Play for 2 mins and then rotate teams. Space you make depends on skil & stage of your group. I usually start with 9 steps between the cones.

Instruction points :

- be brave and stay on the ball

- hide the ball from the defenders

- change of direction as an act of deception (change multiple times)

- change of pace now is critical after changing directions

- don't put foot on the ball

SSG (20 mins)

SSG w/ underload for attacking team. 4v6 shown here. Safe zones to receive the ball are shown (shaded areas), ball can't be intercepted when played in and players can receive and take 1st touch out of zone without being tackled. Can play ball to any p[layer, not just ones in safe zones. Attacking team gets 1 point for dribbling through any of the 4 wide gates under control. Defending team can get points by winning possession and connecting 3 or 4 passes (transition moments). Play for 4 mins then switch roles. If defenders try to stand in gates, they get penalized by coming off field for 30 seconds.
