Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): High Pressure practice

Warm up lap (5 mins)

Warm up:

Players will run together around the entire field as a whole group. Here they will converse about the day, upcoming game, previous game, or whatever they want to discuss. It's a team coming together time where they can start focusing in on practice time and what we are trying to accomplish today.

Once around the players will pick up a ball and on a dribble go around half the field on a controlled dribble with the ball with in one touch of the ball. Once on the opposite endline players will cut to the corner of the 18 yard box and then take a touch and shoot the ball into the net. This will rally the balls together for the next drill.

6v6 Winner Stays (25 mins)

Warmup 6v6 game on frame. Players will be divided into 3 teams 6 players each. Players can only take two touch. One to retrieve the pass and one to make the pass. Defending players must be on the player with the ball with in the first touch to make the attacking players be mindful of what they are going to do with the ball when they get there.  The team sitting out is acting as a bumper both teams can use, but can only use 1 touch.

No restrictions on where the shot can come from. The game should be quick and back and forth. All balls out over the endline are reset by the goalkeepers. Balls out over the touchline are free kicks.

Goalkeepers can only distribute with throws and no kicks. Once a team scores, they rotate out with the bumper team. First team to 6 goals wins.

Team with the most goals has no fitness

3rd place team has 20 pushups and 20 jump squats.
