Description

This week is our last week of Development Program and as always, we will show our gratitude by rewarding them for their hard

work and dedication. The session will be based on delivering a Tournament Style, where winners will be getting the tittle ofHarrison Development Program Spring 2022 season Champions

The session contains our Foundational Warm Up. I recommend to start on Foundation 2 and Finish the Warm up with Foundation3.

As the coach, It is your job to choose from the multiple progressions and regressions/activities and deliver catering for yourgroups based on ability levels. Do not try to deliver all activities at once.

Principle of play

Improvisation/Creativity The ability to provide inventive and unpredictable play, through or behind the opposition. Exploit space and speed
Dispersal – Refers to how your team will create space by providing both width and depth. Dispersal is essential not only to allow your team to be able to play but also allow them to use the full width and depth of the pitch.
Penetration – Is ability for your team to exploit spaces between and behind them both with and without the ball.
Movement – Is how players move off the ball to create space for their team mates or for themselves
Support – Links to movement but more specifically focuses on how you will support the player on the ball

MVP points System

The player MVP system is a staple of the program and one we use to set competition from the start of the session to the finish between each individual

The way the system works every player has 5 MVP points to start, Players can win more points by applying themselves to each activity with full commitment trying their hardest to progress, and being awarded points by the coach

Players can also win points during each activity by scoring the most points for that activity and for that they will pick up 2 MVP points from the coach.

We also use the point system to reinforce good standards like staying in bounds, not bumping into other players, and good behavior. the player can lose their points when these standards are not met. Try to use it as a motivator, not a punishment.

Once the players get used to this system they will become more responsible for their own development

Players dribble the ball around the inside of the grid imitating a characteristic of the below professional players. (Boys and Girls)Painting the Picture of each one of the player's characteristics:

* MESSI/LLOYD: Head up looking to get into the gaps using small, quick touches with the Pinky Toe (outside of the foot).

* POGBA/HORAN: Head up to recognize when there's no gaps/space, then change of direction (12 o'clock to 6 o'clock), ball comes out ofyour feet, and then head and eyes up getting into the new space.

* RONALDO/MORGAN: Head up to see when there's a lot of space in front of you, then big touch to accelerate and get your head/eyes upand attack the space.

CHRISTIAN PULISIC/PUGH : Head up to recognize small tight spaces ,using the inside/outside surfaces of the foot to unbalancedefenders and make the space big enough to penetrate.

NEYMAR/HEATH Using multiple surfaces to manipulate the ball unbalance defenders using a move to create space for end product.

Game Instructions

On coaches command, a number is called out and the players with the respective number will become defender. They will try to
steal the ball and transition to score a goal in one of the pug goals. In the example on the diagram, #2 was called so all #2's will go todefend the opposite teams.
The players on the ball will gain points by keeping possession of the ball for the entire round (30 second rounds).
-You can also do this by shouting out the colors of the groups so the color you call will defend.

Restart Week 3

This week we will focus on restarts free kicks explain the rules and how this work

Principle of play Week 3 - Penetration

The focus this week will be timing of penetration weather pass, run or dribble

Penetration – Is ability for your team to exploit spaces between and behind them both with and without the ball. For teams in possession to penetrate, it may be a player passing between a two defenders to break lines or playing into the space behind as well. Players should be encouraged to occupy spaces between the defenders to allow them to receive and take out the opponents from the game. Individuals can also penetrate by beating players or traveling with the ball too.

Instructions

- Players split up into 3-4 teams and play a round-robin tournament

where all teams play.

- Players must not step inside the red cone areas in front of goal this

into them
