Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Attack vs defense and transitions (Start Time: 2022-06-15 17:15:00)

Warmup (5 mins)

Method:

Every player wears a bib as a tail, for this warm-up exercise, there will be one player without a bib.

The field is delimited, and players cannot go out of the lines.

A player without a tail will try to steal one from any other player, it does so, then puts the tail on, and the one who lost it has to steal.

Variant: 

- Add a ball for all players to dribble while protecting their tail and for the one without a tail.

Coaching Points:

- Users to change speed and direction to get away of the defender

- Protect the bib by using the body position

- Dribble and ball control corrections
