Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Attacking Principles 2 v 1, 2 v 2 (Start Time: 2018-11-21 19:00:00)

Warm up (15 mins)

Organization

- Players split between the 4 corners of the square

- Anything over 3 players at each cone then create a new square

- Use the Full 3v3 Field

- Coach in the middle

Activity

- The players dribble in to the centre where the coach or parent

acts as the defender

- The coach makes the players aware that they dirbble in to the

centre before turning in anywaytheylike and head back to the

same corner

- The coach then works through 2-3 different turns. Inside hook,

outside hook, drag back/pull turn

Coach's Emphasis

- Soft Tight touches on the way to the cone

- Technique in the turn, bend knees, which part of the foot are we

using to turn

- Accelerate away

Activity (20 mins)

Set up

- Grid 30 by 30

- Break players into three groups of 4

Activity – 2 v 1, 2 v 2

-Coach passes ball to one of the attacking players

- Once player receives the ball they have to work as a team to dribble past one of the 3 gates. The gate in the middle is two points and the ones on the outside are one point. If the defender wins the ball and passes it back to the coach he gets a point.

- Each group has as a turn at one of the stations

Coaching Points

- Player receiving the ball needs to time the pass correctly. Engage the defender prior to making the pass.

-Receiving player needs to ensure there is always a passing channel to receive the ball.

-Receiving player needs to take a positive touch when receiving the ball

Progression - We should get to this point after 10 minutes

- If we see enough progression and success by the attacking players we can turn it into a 2 v 2.
