Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): FC Bellbrook U9/U10 Practice Plan 7

Knock out (15 mins)

The players dribble in a 5 by 5 yards grid. While dribbling they try to poke other players balls out of the field. If a player's ball is poked out of the box the player has to do 10 toe taps and 10 boxing touches before they are allowed back into the square.

.

In the first 2.30 minutes every player is worth 1 point. In the second 2.30 minutes every player is worth 2 points. The final 2.30 minutes every player is worth 5 points. Player with the most points after 3 rounds wins.

1v1 Madness (10 mins)

Attacker dribbles arround in the red box. There is one defender, who tries to steal the ball from his partner. The attacker can beat the defender or look for a pass to one of the 6 players on the outside (blue cones). After the pass they switch positions. The defender has to stay in the red box, so the attacker gets some space to dribble at the defender.

.

Coaching Remarks

- 4 steps of beating a defender ( dribble with speed, fake out, go around, seperate)

- Call names when passing so the player expects the ball

1v1 Finishing and Transition (20 mins)

The players always play 2 games. The first game as attacker, the second game as defender. As soon as the ball goes out of bounds the first player in line of the other team can start to attack. The former attacker has to make a quick transition to play defense.

.

Coaching Remarks:

1v1 attacking skills

finishing skills

quick transition
