Warm Up (15 mins)

Tag

15y by 15y area, 2 players are the taggers (wear pinnies), the rest of the players are trying not to get tagged, each player has one ball.

Once a blue tags a player, the player who is tagged has to do 5 toe taps to get back in the game. Swap around the taggers every 2 minutes.

Adaptations/Progressions:

1) Increase number of taggers

2) Take away the taggers balls

3) If player is tagged they become the tagger

4) Instead of toe taps, players have to do side to sides/another skill with the ball

Play for 15 minutes

Through The Gates (15 mins)

Through the gates

15y by 15y area, 5 gates - more or less depending on numbers, players get into pairs, 1 ball between each pair.

Players are looking to to pass to their team mate through a gate, they are looking to make 5 passes with both feet.

Technical Points:

1) Non striking foot next to the ball and aiming at the target

2) Strike the ball using the inside of the foot and towards the middle of the ball

3) Look where your partner is, is the ball going to them?

Adaptations/Progressions:

1) Make the gates smaller/bigger

2) Get partners to move around the grid

3) Make it a competition, first to 10 passes, how many can you do in 30 seconds

Duration:15 Minutes

Through The Gates Opposed (15 mins)

Through The Gates (Opposed)

Same area, players are in pairs, this time there is a pair that are going round covering the gates (reds).

Same as previous session, the blues have to pass to each other through as many gates as they can. Reds cannot tackle, they just block the gates.

Swap the blockers every 2 minutes.

Technical Points:

1) Inside of the foot passing

2) Head up to see the free gates

3) Communication, which gate are we going to?

4) Decision Making, there is a blocker covering the gate you want to go to, what do I do now?

Adaptations/Progressions:

1) Make it into a competition, time limit or first to 10

2) Make area smaller, have to make decisions quicker

3) Make the gates smaller

4) Add another defender
