Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): Germs

Germs (10 mins)

Organization

- 20 x 20 area

- All attacking players begin on the end line with a ball at their feet

- Defending players begin in the middle of the area without a ball

Activity

- The players on the end line have to dribble past the player in the middle without their ball being stolen and kicked out of the area

- If your ball is stolen you join hands with the player in the centre and attempt to help to steal others balls. Everytime a player has their ball kicked out they join the "Germ"

- The last free player is the winner.

Progression

- Weak foot only dribbling

- If the ball runs over the end line at the opposite end the player becomes a germ

Coaches Emphasis

- Keep the ball tight

- Keep heads up when dribbling

- FUN

- Changes of speed and Direction
