Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): Deadly Duo's

Screen 1

ORGANIZATION: Place 2 cones placed approximately 1-2m apart (dependent on skill level)

2 lines of players at each cone; make sure lines aren't longer than 4 players. 

INSTRUCTIONS: One player starts with the ball. When Coach says "Go", the player with the ball attacks the net to score and player without the ball tries to get in front to stop them. If the defender wins the ball have them pass it back to the coach for a point.

Players switch lines and take turns attacking and defending. 

Next have the players pass the ball back and forth until the coach says "Go". The player that has the ball when the coach says "Go" will be the attacker and the other player will be the defender.  

(For younger players that have trouble passing back and forth; the coach can start with the ball and pass it into the middle for the players to race to)

 PROGRESSIONS: 

• Skill moves and changes of direction to beat defender (e.g. rollover, scissors, v-push, roll-cut, 360, shoulder fake, chops and cuts, etc.). 
• Change of direction and speed; attack the net with speed.
