Warm-up (15 mins)

Touches Warm-up

200 touches with an inside cut every 10

150 on weak foot only - inside cut every 10

100 on strong foot only - inside cut every 10

50 on alternate feet - inside cut every 10

Emphasize keeping the ball "in your zone" - whenever the players are traveling with the ball it must always be within their reach, never let it run away. Most likely to lose control when exiting the inside cut, demonstrate the cut with the ball never leaving your reach.

Sharks and Minnows with Target Zones (30 mins)

Sharks and minnows with target zones:

Every player with a ball, on coach's signal players try to dribble to other side of the field without getting caught by the coach. Players are safe when they stop their ball in one of the target zones. If their ball runs out the back of the zone the player is out and they join the coach as a shark. This should encourage players to arrive with the ball in their zone.

Emphasise not using speed to beat the shark but keeping the ball close and using footwork and change of direction to move into the space behind it.

Small-sided scrimmage

Let the kids play as much as possible but place an incentive on using the assigned move. Over the course of the session let's have the kids get at least 60 repetitions of the chosen move at both learning speed, game speed, unopposed, and opposed.
