Ball Mastery Madness (15 mins)

Activity Name: Ball Mastery madness.
Activity Description: Set up as shown. Be sure to leave space between your little cones in the middle but not too much. Evenly spread your group between the 4 corners- every player should have a ball. One player from each corner dribbles out to the pile of little cones and dribbles through them avoiding hitting cones and other players, they should dribble diagonally across to the opposite corner. Have the next player go when the player in front of them leaves the pile on the far side. Keep moving the cones in the middle to constantly change the directions players need to go.
Progression/variation: Variation: Possibilities are but not limited
too- 1: dribble both feet, 2: Single cuts Left, 4: Single cuts right, 3:
toe taps all the way or more advanced players can do toe taps
forwards and through the cones then rotate and do them backwards to
head toward the next cone on the outside 4: soccer boxes all the way or more

advanced can do forward backwards, 5: double cuts (outside left-
inside left- outside right- inside right), 6: pull pushes with lace and

sole switch feet, 7: sole roll left all the way, 8: sole roll right all the way 9: dribble in and add sole delays inside the pile of cones, 10: L turns. Should you need more you
can add in attacking moves and/or scoops etc.
Coaching Points: Look to utilize every part of the foot when dribbling, lots of touches and soft touches when doing taps, boxes, cuts,
pull pushes. Don't cross feet when doing sole rolls. Head up to see other players/cones. If other players are in the way sole delay or change direction.

1v1 Reactions (15 mins)

Activity Name- 1v1 Color reaction.
Activity Description-  Set up as shown. Be sure to put 4 different colored cones down for the 2 player boxes. Coach starts in the middle with the balls. Both players face the goal in the box at all times- coach calls out a combination of colors and players have to shuffle and touch that cone with their foot while always facing the goal, at any point coach puts a ball into play and yells go! Both players compete for the ball and try to counter and score 1v1. For groups of 6 or more or slow moving groups set up in both halves of the court.
Progression/Variations- Have the players in various starting positions first for example lying down, crouching then jump up and touch the colors and then first to the ball. Have both players with a ball and have them dribble or do various footskills at the color called and when coach yells go, players leave their ball and compete for the game ball.
Coaching Points- Quick feet with minimal steps to move to the cones. Quick reactions to the coach yelling go to get the ball first. Gain control of the ball with the foot further away from the pressure and try to drive quickly direct to the goal before the defender recovers in. Use Puntazo to minimize time shaping body for the shot.

3v2 Counter attack situation play. (20 mins)

Activity Name- 3 Player rotations in a counter attacking 3v2 situation.
Activity description- 3 attackers vs 2 defenders. Have 1 defender starting high and losing possession of the ball to the 3 attackers. The 3 attackers then look to counter quickly and score before players recover back in. Be sure to change round the attackers and the defenders.
Progression- Add in a third defender if attacking teams are doing a good job and need an extra challenge.
Coaching Points- Single defender should look to delay play for their team mate to recover back into a defensive position. The 3 attackers need to try and counter quickly and exploit being numbers up. Should try to use rotations worked on in previous weeks to create chances.
