Warm Up (10 mins)

Description :

> 1 ball each player.

> 30x30 grid.

> players will start without a ball & must jog around field, when they approach a pole they must look to drop their shoulder & go past the pole. Looking for players to change speed when going beyond pole.

> now add in soccer ball for each player. Players must dribble around field keeping ball close to them, same as before but with a ball, players must dribble towards pole & look to go beyond pole & acclerate with pace into the space.

Progression :

> take poles away, more game realistic now as players must use one another as defenders & look to drive with speed beyond the player.

Coaching Points :

> toe pointing down, use laces to drive the ball forward.

> head up & down to see ball & pole so we know when to change pace.

> small touches when approaching pole.

> bigger touch when looking to accelerate away from pole.

Activity 1 (15 mins)

Description :

> 1v1.

> 20x30 channel.

> one attacking team.

> one defending team.

> defenders start with the ball & must pass the ball down to the attacker & close down.

> attacker must control ball & look to get beyond defender to score into mini goal.

> focusing on our attacking player's change of pace. If the defender closes us down quickly - what pace should we start at & when should we accelerate? If the defender stands off us - can we take the game to the defender & what pace should we start at?

> encourage players to change pace when on the ball, don't always go at same pace - how can we make it more difficult for the defender?

Coaching Points :

> use inside of foot & get body behind ball to get under control.

> toe pointing down, use laces to drive the ball forward.

> drop shoulders, move body to make more difficult for defender.

> head up & down to see ball & defender so we know when to change pace.
