Races (15 mins)

The Session: Races

Station A - One person starts on the red cone slightly ahead, one player starts behind on the bue cone. On a trigger (drop of an arm, show of a cone etc.) the players race through the finish. If the blue player touches the red he gets two points.

Station B - Both players facing the coach. The coach shows either a red cone or a blue cone. The players have to spin around the manikin and get through the color cone that was shown. First through receives a goal.

*As a progression on station B, the coach can change the color cone after the players have set off the encourage change of direction.

Key Points:

-  Light Switch Reactions 

- Running at pace

- Changing direction at pace

- Being balanced when changing direction

- Use of body (get arms, shoulders, hips across) to beat your opponent

Finishing with pressure from behind (15 mins)

THE SESSION: Finishing with pressure from behind

-Ball starts with the player in black who will likely be the coach. 

-When the coach passes the ball through, the attacker in red runs on to finish quickly. 

- The defender, who is in white, chases the attacker down to force a sense of urgency in the shot.

- After Play: Red becomes GK, White moves to blue cone line, GK moves to red cone line.

- Once this shot is taken, both players are off are the next one steps up.

- Serve balls quickly, make sure the players get plenty reps!

-Can use mini goals for U6 & U7 w/o GK

PROGRESSION:

- After the first shot is made, a ball is played in to the defending player for a 1v1 against the initial attacker.

Finishing:

- Awareness of where the goal is

- Awareness of pressure from defender and pressure coming from GK (don't panic)

- Weight of touches to get ball forward, control before finish - set up touch

- Accuracy OR Power & shot technique: instep, laces

- Follow shots in where possible

1v1 Two Gate/Goal Game (15 mins)

THE SESSION: 1v1 to Side Gates:

- Create two separate 1v1 groups within the same space to get more repetitions if needed.

- S (coach if needed) plays the ball into the space. X goes, followed by O and the game begins.

- X tries to score in A or B only on the side across from where they started from: playing positive (forward)

- Vary the start position; players now link arms, arms across chest.

- Can utilize one option as shot opportunity and the opposite option a penetrating dribble (See diagram A and B)

Key points:

- Encourage protection - keep your body between ball and opponent...your shield 

- Take what the defender gives: shot vs dribble - you have 2 options

- Side/Forward moves (don't turn into defender)

- Quick play: Tempo

- Creativity

- Bravery: Take risks to score and dominate opponent
