Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): 1v1 (2v2) to four goals w/gates

1v1 (15 mins)

As part of the attacking dueling theme, the first

session is a 1v1 that progresses to a 2v2. On the

coach's call, two players will race to the corner of the

playing area during the 1v1 setup. The players will

then enter the playing area and compete for the

football that has been played into the area by a coach.

Players must dribble through the cones in front of any

target goal before finishing. The practice is

progressed to a 2v2 setup. With the exception of the

target goals, the practice remains the same. In the

progression, players must pass through the cones into

their teammate before finishing into any of the four

target gates.

Coaching Points

Whenever possible, be fast on the ball.

In the absence of space, changes of direction occur.

Ensure you finish with the correct foot when you pass through the gate.
