Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Aerobic

Aerobic - running with ball conditioning (20 mins)

8 players

30 x 30 area size

Objectives:

• RWTB Technique - big first touch, hit the space quickly, least amount of touches as necessary while remaining in control of the ball.
• football-specific conditioning
• Difference between RWTB and dribbling

RWTB Technique - big first touch, hit the space quickly, least amount of touches as necessary while remaining in control of the ball.
Get across the area quickly with minimum touches.Take small touches when you need to avoid players (dribble, turn).Add defender to increase the challenge of getting the ball across the area. 
Organisation:

• Players work in groups of 3 across the square. 
• Ensure the ball starts with 2 players.
• Rest: work ratio 2:1
• Focus on technique first. Taking a big first touch, getting across the area quickly.
• Run the ball into the player, rather than passing it.
• Players will run across each other from time to time. This requires taking smaller touches then exploding away again.
• Give the player minimum amount of touches to get across the grid in (e.g. 5 touches).

Progression: using a central square to dribble in, then burst out (player 1 demonstrating).
