Warm up: Speed catcher

Organization: 25x30yrd grid.

Warm Up (Speed Catcher):

- One/two catchers must touch/tag as many players as possible within a specific time period (1/2mins) and within the marked playing field.

- Players who have been touched continue to play.

- See how many players you can tag

- Coach creates a ranking list on paper.

- Progress to 'speed tackler' (1point for a tackle and clearing the ball away).

Coaching Points:

- Look for space to move into

- Dodge out the way of taggers

- Catchers need to sprint at times to tag a player

Ball Mastery and Turns

Organisation:

- Each player with a ball

- 3 players per side of grid

Instructions:

- Each side of the area is called a player name

- One side Messi (outside-inside), one side Pogba (toe-taps), one side Bale (rollovers), one side Ronaldo (creative - anything you like)

- Players move with their ball doing their particular skill (e.g. Messi) to the opposite side and back to the side they started on. Players all go at once

- 2/3mins then rotate sides, moving the players around clockwise

Progressions:

- Add a turn for players to do when they get to the other side (e.g. Messi - outside-inside and outside cut, Pogba - toe-taps and stepover turn, Bale - rollovers and cruyff turn)

- Introduce more advanced ball manipulations i.e. roll-stops, outside-inside both feet, backwards toe-taps, drag-push etc.

Coaching Points:

- Head up

- Look out for other players around you

- Focus on doing the skills correctly (quickly and accurately, but under control)

- Light on feet

- Low body when turning
