Key Factors

The purpose of this drill is to provide plyers with the opporntiuty to gain as many touches of the ball as possible, using a variety of different surfaces of the foot, and encouraging creativity and changes in direction.

This drill will involve turning, passing, dribbling and running with the ball and the Nomads Moves will make up a big part of this.

Organisation

The drill is set up with 4 out side cones and 4 cones on the inside, creating 2 diamonds. The different moves will be as follows:

1) Players will work in straight lines across the area. In the first instance the players will complete an action with the ball up to the first cone. They will leave the ball at the first cone, sprint across the central area and play a pass with the ball that has been left by the player working in the opposite direction. The next player in line then repeats. The actions to be completed will be;

i) players will run with the ball up to the cone.

Skill- Set Up 1

Key Factors

The key factors in this drill are the players ability to use the Nomads moves effectively to beat a defender and score a goal. The key will be close contral and the ability to move with the ball at pace.

Organisation

Set up as shown in the attached animation. The green players represetn the coaches. The set up begins with a defender inbetween the gate closest to the goal. The session starts with the front player runnign with the ball to the mannequin and completing a Nomad turn. They run with the ball back to their starting point and complete another turn.

After the second turn the player then plays a pass to the coach and runs the opposite side of the mannequin and the coach plays the ball into the players path to complete the wall pass.

Once the player has possession of the ball again, they must then take on the player between the cones and try and score. The player between the cones can only move side to side and not move forward or back.

After the move has finished, the attacking player takes the place of the player between the cones and the defender joins the back of the line.
