Key Coaching Points

Dribbling and Running with the Ball

(1) Touch / guide the ball with laces when dribbling (natural running movement for foot).

(2) Look up while dribble to see space, defenders, teammates, and the goal.

(3) Use all parts of the foot to manipulate the ball. Inside (chop), outside (hook), and sole (pull-back) to change direction.

Closing Down

(1) Try to get an arms length away from the ball carrier.

(2) Spring to close down but break down (small short steps and ready to adjust) as you get closer to the ball carrier.

(3) When you are able step across the ball carrier to take possession or poke the ball away and try to recover possession.

 

Key Organization

(1) Coaches working in pairs, one coach set-up cones while the other coach leads the arrival activity and activation activity.

(2) Keep all the soccer balls with coaches. Have the players return the balls to a designated area.

(3) Only speak to the group when you have everyone attention. Do not let players not pay attention when coaches are speaking.
