Technical Dribbling (20 mins)

Technical Warm Up: (20 Minutes) Cones 10 Yards Apart

Start with two-three groups of players on a set of cones, each group should have 4-5 players (Maximize touches for everyone)

Dribbling Part: 15 Minutes

Start with two players dribbling in opposite directions (On the Right Side of the Cone), after they get about halfway to the next cone they pass the ball to the next person in line. The player that passes the ball must call the name of the player that is receiving the ball. The player receiving the ball must take their touch forward to the transition into the dribble.

Dribble Progressions:

Inside Outside Right Foot Only

Inside Outside Left Foot Only 

Inside Outside Both Feet

Coaching Points:

Encourage players to dribble with their laces, toe pointed down pushing the ball forward with their laces

Small Touches to control the ball better

Dribble with your head up

Passing Part: 5 Minutes

In the same groups 1 player starts by passing the ball to the other player at the opposite cone, they receive the ball and touch it to the other side of the cone and then pass it back to the next person in line. Players follows their pass by a quick sprint to the opposite cone.

Passing Progressions:

Receive Across Body (Until they are proficient with this type of receiving the ball don't move on)

Sole Role Across Body 

Coaching Points:

When Passing, the plant foot and hips should face the player they are passing to, use their instep (inside foot)

Passes Should be on the ground

The ball should be hit in the middle to keep it on the ground with enough pace to challenge the receiver's first touch.

Second Stage Passing Warm-Up (Optional)

Two balls, passing at the same time will challenge them to keep their focus and forces the player to pass quickly and move quickly to get in position to receive the incoming pass.

6v2 Positional Rondo (10 mins)

Positional Rondo: 2-3-1 Formation (10 Minutes) 16 by 16 Grid 

Ball Starts with Coach Near the Centerbacks, the game starts with two defenders and adds more after consecutive successful passes. 

The goal is for the focus team to keep possession while more defenders are added. Once more defenders are added the focus players really have to keep their head up, create better angles, understand where is the pressure and where is the open space.

After 3 consecutive passes, add a new defender to increase the difficulty and limit the numerical advantages for the focus team. 

Coaching Points:

A,B,C's 

Angle of Support 

Body Position

Communication

1,2,3's 

1 Play Through

2 Play Around 

3 Keep the Ball

Keep your shape and look for numerical advantages

Can we create the diamond when the ball is on the side of the field?

(Use the cones as a reference of the field to talk about shape and show how we can create numerical advantages depending on where the ball is)
