Coaching Points/Questions:
What surface of the foot are they using to dribble, pass and receive?
When should they change speed?

2v1 to Goal:
Coach sets up a 15Wx20L yard grid. Coach has all the soccer balls on the sideline. Coach divides the players into 3 groups; 2 attacking groups and 1 defending. The coach passes a soccer ball to one of the lines. The first player in each of the 3 lines enters the field. (2v1). The 2 attackers must enter the zone before shooting at goal.
If the attackers score: 1 point.
If the defender steals the ball and scores: 5 points.
Coaching Points/Questions:
Why do they try to beat the defender by themselves?
When should they pass the soccer ball?
Player Challenges:
Am I trying to score by myself?
Sometimes, do I give the ball to my teammate so he/she can score?

Up and Down Numbers Get “Outta” There :
The players are divided into two teams. Players are positioned at either side of the coach, with multiple soccer balls, outside a 15Wx20L yard grid with one small goal on each end line. The coach serves a ball into the grid and the players try to gain possession and score on their opponent. If a goal is scored or the soccer ball goes out of bounds, the coach calls out “Get outta there”. Players clear the field and the coach serves a new ball for the next group. Coach: play 1v2, 2v3, or 4v3. Vary the service.
Coaching Points/Questions:
Where do the players go to score?
When do they change direction to go to the open goal?
Player Challenges:
Am I shooting a fast as I can?
If I can’t get to the goal, can I find my teammate?

Each player has a ball. Have the players try to use the 4 surfaces of the foot in 1 fluid motion in this order: Outside, Inside, Laces and Bottom, Transfer the ball from the right to left foot after they stop the ball with the bottom (sole of the shoe) When the players display proficiency, challenge them to do it faster and in a smaller space.

Outside of the foot touch - Inside of the foot touch - Laces (push) - Stop with bottom of the foot and Change foot

What surfaces of the foot are the players using?
What surface is the most difficult for the players to use?
Why would you ask them to “Talk to your feet”?
