Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): 1v1's

Free Dribble (10 mins)

Free Dribble

• Five touches pick move - let the player choose - 45 seconds
• 1pt for good foot - 45 seconds
• 2pt for week foot - 45 seconds
• Five touches of the ball - worst move - 45 seconds
• Five touches of the ball - best movement - 45 seconds

+ Progression - Coach calls a number, i.e., Coach calls "4". Players must react and touch four balls. While players are doing the task, the coach takes two balls away. The last two players to get to 4 balls are defenders. Defenders are encouraged to steal the ball from another player. If they are successful, then the player keeps the ball, and that player becomes a defender.

End Zone with goals (10 mins)

Set up a 30x20 Field with x2 5x20 endzones at the ends of the field (blue/red). Playe blue vs. red.  Place soccer balls along the sidelines. Players must dribble the ball into the opposing team's end zone in order to have a shot on goal. Defenders can enter the endzone. Every time the ball goes out of play, any player on the team that didn't have possession before can re-start the play by dribbling in any of the balls on the outside. 

+ Players can shoot from anywhere, but a goal from a player dribbling into the endzone is worth 10.
