Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Learn to shoot arrows+piercing runs

KnockCoco (10 mins)

Organization:

• Divide players into two teams

• Objective is to knock over all your “coconuts” before your opponent.

• The ball is passed to a coach and then the player runs around the

coach (overlap) before shooting

• One player goes at a time from each line

Technique:

• Passing

• Shooting – Accuracy vs. power

Coaching points:

• Plant foot next to ball, toe pointed at target

• Kicking foot, toe up and ankle locked

• Weight of the pass for easy control

• Communication and awareness (visual & verbal)

• Accuracy of the pass (to feet or space)

• Timing of the run, so you’re moving when you receive the ball

• Change speed (with and without ball)

• Keep eyes on the ball

Variations:

• If “coconuts” are balls on cones the more you knock over the more

balls to shoot

• Players must shoot a moving ball

wide=get the ball with space to go forward

slashing run to middle=play quick to score

midfielders=diagonal dribbling to open diagonal passes to diagonal runs.

defenders=overlapping runs to wide spaces not currently being used
