Tic-Tac-Toe

Session Topic: Reactional Activation

- 9 or 12 squared areas depending on the number of players, split into two teams.

- Using bibs first, each player has a bib each & spare ones if the game goes on longer.

- Progress into dribbling & running with the ball, whilst holding the designated bib, placing the ball into the chosen area.

- An even further progression could be to work in pairs, one player comes out to receive pass, passes back and moves into an area that is free to place the ball in. If both teams go for the same area, it's the first to receive and stop the ball dead.

- First team to make three in a row, win.

Reaction Dribbling

Session Topic: Reactional Activation

- One group of players to start off with the ball and a group to start without, rotating each time they finish.

- Both players come into the middle a couple of yards away from the mannequin.

- On the coach's command/ whistle, the coach either gives an instruction for which coloured cone or the player without the ball chooses which cone to go to.

- On the trigger, the defender without the ball touches that cone, at the same time, the attacker is to dribble outside of the opposite cone and make it through the gate that they are facing without being tackled.

- If the defender wins the ball, they aim to go through the opposite gate, without touching any equipment, play is to go on until a chosen time limit.

Progression

- The trigger to get in position is now when the ball is out of play, the time has been reached or a point has been awarded.

- The choice of the cone is completely up to the player defending, as well as when to go to that cone.
