Challenges, Conditions or Targets:

Players are instructed to use both feet when dribbling in the grey shaded area.

Players are instructed to maximise touches and to keep a count.

Skill Drill 1 (15 mins)

Defenders pass the ball to the dribbling attackers and initially shadow the attacker.  Dribbling attackers must change direction and change speed to evade the defender and get a shot away. This introduces decision making to both attackers and defenders.

Adaptations (Progressions & Regressions):

Progression: defender initially shadows but then is instructed to challenge for the ball.

Progression: Defender wins ball can become attacker

Regression: No defender, just beat the GK.

Progression: .2 v 1 attack, 2 v 2

 

Challenges, Conditions or Targets: 

Beating defender and getting shot away = 1 point, 2 points for scoring. Captains keep score.

Defenders get points for successful tackles; bonus point if the defender scores past keeper.

 

Mechanics:

4. Change of Pace

5. Change of Direction
