Technical Work - 20 Minutes

Focus will be on ball mastery, shielding ball from defender, beating defender with quick movement

1. Figure 8 dribbling - player begins on outside, dribbles at speed with laces forward. Rolls ball to inside of gate using sole, drags ball back with right foot/left foot backwards through other gate, repeats other side alternating feet

2. Receiving to shield - Player 1 passes to Player 2, who receives ball with sole with defender on back. Defending player provides light pressure. Player 2 uses sole to shield ball for a few touches, not taking foot off ball, then rolls back to Player 1, repeat.

3. Player 1 passes to Player 2 and pressures lightly, Player 2 receives with sole, backs up with ball using sole while Player 1 is running at him. Player 2 rolls ball to one side and pushes forward using inside of other foot, passes to next player on opposite side and repeats.

Supporting Teammates (20 mins)

Supporting teammates

All players in middle have ball. Equal number of attackers and defenders in middle. Defenders holding pennies.

3 addtional attackers on outside.

Game is played with attackers in middle attempting to pass ball through gate to teammate on outside. As soon as pass is played, passer must run to touch a goal before becoming a supporting teammate on outside. Receiving player must dribble through one of the gates into the circle to complete the point. If defender wins ball, he drops penny and becomes attacker.
