Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): Coerver 1v1,2v2, 3v3

Small Sided-Add Pressure (15 mins)

Organization:

2 pugg goals

As many balls as possible

2x 3 yard gates 1 yard apart

Instructions:

Attacker stands in first gate with legs open

Defender in 2nd gate plays pass throught attacker legs for attacker to collect

Defender cannot defend until attacker touches ball

Attacker can score in either goal, and if defender wins ball he attacks the counter goal.

Once 1v1 battle has finished the next players move up the line, and next time that pair is 'up' they switch roles

Coaching Points:

Use ball mastery techniques to evade/fake out defenders

Use defenders own body weight/momentum against themselves

Fake to shoot on goal before using one of the skills to change direction and go to opposite goal

Speed of execution to confuse defender

Progressions:

Add time limit to contest

Add point system (score more points if use one of the skills taught in the session)
