Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Applying 1v1 Skills Into the Attack

Technical Warm Up (15 mins)

The players will dribble with ball at pace through the grid. When they come to a gate, they must dribble through the gate and perfrom a dragback or Cryuff turn back through it.

When the player comes to a hurdle, they must perform a 1v1 skill move (stepovers, scissors, rolls, chops). The coach can change the skill move as the activity progresses.

Cut Backs, Skill Move, and Finish (15 mins)

Players from the A lines, dribble directly towards gate at pace. Once through the gate, the players must cut back quickly and look to combine with the player checking to from line B. Once that combination is made, the player from line A will get the ball back, perform a skill move on the pole, and then attempt to finish.

Activity happens on left side, then right side, and continues to alternate back and forth. Players should rotate lines.

Small Sided Scrimmage (20 mins)

Directional play with an emphasis on 1v1 moves. Any time a player beats an opponent with 1v1 move, it is worth 2 points. Goals are worth 1 point.

Any 1v1 move that leads to an open shot and a goal is scored is worth 5 points.

Play 20 min.
