Warm Up (20 min)

Organization: Freeze Tag

- Everyone has a ball

- The 2 players in blue are the freezers and they are trying to tag the players in white.

Variation

- Ways to freeze a players is by tagging the players or using the inside of the foot to strike the ball and hit the player

- To get unfrozen a player in white can tag you or you can have a player pass the ball through another players legs. this will help with using the inside of the foot.

Coaching Points:

- look for open space

- take small touches and burst into open space

- pick up head when dribbling to locate freezers and open space

Instructions:

Players drive their bumper cars trying not to bump into another bumper car or not the barriers (dribble outside area).

Its a race to x amount of pedal pushes (pinky toe touches), but every time you 'bump' you lose x amount of pedal pushes.

Coaching Points:

Push pedal gently so dont go too fast and out of control (small pinky toe touches) if lots of bumper cars around, if find somewhere where no bumper cars are, can you speed up to get their (bigger touches)

Watch out for other bumper cars (look up, head up)

Can you steer out of their way if about to crash (changes of direction)

Progressions:

Add defenders (people without bumper cars) who hold pinnies, if they bump you out your car (touch your ball) they get to drive it and you have to bump someone else out their car

Main Activity

Set up two lines approximately 12 yards apart. in the middle of these lines have two gates of different colours 2 yards wide as shown in the picture.

One player from each line runs into the middle and run on the spot (players should be pumping the arms to work on proper running technique), the coach then calls out a colour and the players race thru that color gate. When the coach calls out the color the next two players shoul make their way to the middle. You ca add activities for the players to do when they are in the middle (header, touch the ground, turn etc)

For an extra progression you can make it that if the coach yells 'blue' the players go to yellow and if he coach yells 'yellow' the players go to blue.
