Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Rye Brook Crush Session 12 (Start Time: 2016-05-14 15:15:00)

Warm Up (5 mins)

Organization: 30x20

Instructions: Ball Mastery

Coaching Points:

Progressions:

Passing with movement 1/2 (15 mins)

Organization:

 Players in pairs, one ball per pair. Setup like above - 5 steps between each cone, bigger if you want.

Instructions:

1) The player with the ball dribbles to the tall cone passes the ball and then sprints backwards to their cone. Repeat for 2 minutes. The passer will become the receiver and visa versa.

2) The player without the ball runs to the center cone to receive the pass, passes back in one touch then sprints backwards to their cone. Continue for 1 minute, then switch roles.

Coaching Points:

- Inside of the foot passing

- Strike the middle of the ball

- Non kicking foot aiming at the partner

- On your toes, no player should be on their heels

- When the receiving player is running backwards they should always be facing the ball and have their eyes on the ball

- Communicate with each other

- Make sure the passer has their head up so they know when the player is at the tall cone

Conditioned game (15 mins)

Organization:

2 v 2 plus neutrals (around 4)

Instructions:

Neutrals can't move. All neutrals are available for either team, must pass back to field player from same team within 2 seconds, two-touch limit. Objective is to receive a pass over the end-zone line. 1 pt for successfully received pass, 2 pts if pass is with outside of foot.

Coaching Points:

- Pass and move quickly, use neutrals for a quick give-and-go behind your defender.

- You are effectively 6 v 2, so find open passes.

Progressions:

Free play (with goals) after 10 minutes.
