Description

Training for U8 players focusing on ball mastery and agility/coordination. This is a whole group session. Players are in lanes, maximum 4 players per lane. The focus is dribbling moves and using them with passive defender, then active defender. Encourage players to try a move in order to beat the defender. All of these moves involves switching feet. Hence, take the defender to the right, do a move, and go with your left. Always end each session with a cheer. Do this training for both of your practice days in the same week. i.e do this same training Monday and Wednesday.

4v4 Game

ORGANIZATION (Physical Environment / Equipment / Players)

Cones to mark the field (20x30 or 30x50) cones to mark the goal or pugg goals. All extra balls.

COACHING POINTS / KEY CONCEPTS

4v4: Players play in a diamond shape (defender, left and right midfielder, forward). Coaching points: if players bunch up, yell "shape!", have players get back into their position. Let the player that had the ball keep it and restart play. Encourage players to keep the ball. Do not tell them to pass. Always coach from the

middle of the field and try to let them play the last 5 minutes without any instruction.
