Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Fun session for team building

Drill 2

Drill 2 - Sprint fun exercise 

Players will pair up (one wearing green and one red). They should stand in facing each other like shown above. 

When the coach calls a colour they must turn as quickly as possible and sprint past their sides outer yellow line. The other player should try and catch them before they get to the line. 

Option 2 - A ball can be introduced to each player to promote dribbling. The player who's colour is called should turn with the ball and dribble past the outer line before getting caught by the other player. 

Option 3 - When the coach calls go each player turns and dribbles out past the outer cones and back in to the middle as quickly as possible. First plater back and stopping the ball on the starting line wins. 

Fun shooting drill

Drill 4 - Fun Shooting Target Drill -  Place the small goals in front of the big goal. 

One player at a time. The player must start behind the starter yellow cone and as quickly as possible run to the right hand ball and shoot wit their right foot, then run back around the yellow cone before hitting the left ball with their left foot, then back past yellow cone and then strike the middle ball with their laces. 

The goals are split in to different score zones as shown above.  The player with the highest score wins 

A goalkeeper can be used but the points should then be changed to higher scores in the smaller goals as this will be tougher to score in. To make it fun for the goalkeeper he will score 3 points for a catch and 1 point for a save.
