Learning Objectives

	Technical First touch, dribbling, skill to get past opponent
	Tactical Awareness of opponent
	Physical Speed, coordination
	Social Competitive

1v1 SAQ (15 mins)

Organisation

Set-up a speed circuit on each side of the pitch. Use an age-appropriate circuit size. Have a speed ladder or evenly spaced markers, a small gap, a diamond of tall cones or markers, and then another slightly longer gap to a final tall cone. On each half, add two small goals and a single ball.

Split teams evenly across the pitch so each half has two teams.

Players compete 1v1. On the coaches whistle/shout a player from each team runs through the speed circuit and then races to the ball. Once on the pitch the players are 1v1 and play until either a player scores or the ball goes out of play.

The speed circuit is:

- Both feet between each rung/gap

- Short sprint

- Touch all five tall cones

- Long sprint to the ball

Coaching Points

The emphasis is on high-speed and high-quality during the players active session so the work:rest ratio is about 1:4.

Strong fundamentals - good running technique/form.

Quality on the ball.

Intensity/work ethic - want to win.

Progression

You can change the movements through the speed circuit to work on different aspects of SAQ (speed, agility, quickness).
