Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Mini Kick: Frozen

Get into Character! (Elisa says - Simon says)

Organization:

20 x 20 yd area

Each player with a ball

Instructions:

Shrek "Simon Says"

Coaching Points:

1. Balance & Coordination

2. Listening skills

3. Ball Control

Memory (Rock Trolls)

Organization:

30x25

2 teams of 3-4 players. Each team in a different color

2 teams start at the cone, each player with a ball. While the Coaches are in the middle grid (jellyfish field) without balls.

Past the middle grid there will be a 5 yard safe zone at the end where tall cones are placed over different color pinnies.

Orange pinnie = Olaf; Blue pinnie = Elisa

Instructions:

1. Each group will be competing against one another to find as many Elisa(s) as they can before time runs out.

2.The two groups at the starting cones represent Anna and Kristoff on the search to find Elisa. The Coaches in the middle will be their opponents, the dangerous ice guards. 

3. If any of the players get tagged by an ice guard they must go back to the end of their line and wait until it is their turn again.

4. If a player makes it to the safe zone they have only one chance to turn over a cone to see if Elisa is there. If they find Olaf (orange pinnie) instead they must go back to the end of their line.

5. Once a player has made it into the safe zone the next player in line may start to dribble and attempt to get past the jellyfish.

Coaching Points:

1. Keep your head up to try and avoid the jellyfish. Where are they?

2. Small touches vs. big touches. When should we be exploding into space?

3. Can we avoid the jellyfish by doing a cut in front of them? (Pullback, inside/outside cut) 

Progressions:

(P1) - If a player is in danger of being tagged by a ice guard, or can't get around them, they may decide to play the ball back to the next player in line. This way they can advance through the jellyfish field together by passing around them.
