Warm up

Organization:

10x10 square. All players with ball.

Instructions:

Progression of touches:

1) 50 touches, any foot and any part of the foot.

2) 50 touches, outside right than 50 touches outside left.

3) 50 touches, inside/out right / 50 touches inside/out left

4) Every player has 3 lives, you lose a life by (a) dribbling out of the area, (b) running into somebody or somebody runs into you, and (c) walking or stopping the ball for a long period of time.

You can vary this warm up any way you want, basically getting the players to get as many touches on the ball as possible, and in a close/tight area for control.

Coaching Points:

Small touches on the ball, close control, using the proper part of the foot to dribble with, dribbling with you head up, recognizing space and players around you.

Progressions:

Make the space smaller or larger depending on the ability level of your players.

Make the touch limit more or less.

Limit the parts of the foot to dribble with (only outside, inside, etc)

Lots of ways to adapt this simple warm up to fit your players ability level.

Screen 2

Organization:

10x10 grid, player on each corner at the min. (you can have more the four players in this activity)

Instructions:

Pass the ball on the outside of the square.

After you pass the ball, move the opposite direction (as shown)

Coaching Points:

Pass the ball the back foot, receive the ball with the ball foot.

Open up , to face where you want to pass before you receive the ball.

First touch should be in the direction you want to pass the ball.

Biggest thing here is opening up to receive and pass.

Progressions:

You can add various different passing patterns, for instance: feet, feet, space or just simply passing to space, and having the player run onto the pass.

You can regress it as well, by having no movement after the pass and simply focus on the idea of opening up to receive with the back foot.

Main Activity (25 mins)

Organization:12 players (6v.6)

40x20 grid (can alter to fit your players ability or numbers), endzones 5x10

4v4 inside endzones, 1 per team in each endzone.

Instructions:

Goal is to connect endzone without losing possession.

Team gets one point everytime they get it from one endzone player to the other w/o losing possession.

Can start at endzone.

Players inside the endzone cannot defend each other, but can move laterally to receive the ball.

Rotate endzone players every 5 min or so. (or when a team reaches a certain point total, ex rotate after a team gets to 5 pts)

Coaching Points:

Opening up quickly to see the field, and to know where you are going next before receiving the ball.

Constantly checking where the pressure is coming from, so the next pass is played well.

Movement off the ball to either relieve pressure or take players away to create space and time for teammates.

Using the entire space given, opening up at the touchline so you can see the entire playing space and always running forward/into space rather than going "backwards"/turning into the touchline.

When to pass and when to dribble and take space.

Communication, communication, and more communication.

Progressions:

When the ball is played the endzone player, the endzone player dribbles out and the player who passed the ball now becomes the new endzone player.

Creates more movement, and no more stoppages to rotate the endzone player.

Teaches players to fill space left by teammates and to maintain "balance".

You can add touch min. or max. depending on the ability of your players.
