SESSION AIMS

Welcome the player and allow them time to start the session in a relaxed way doing some unopposed shooting. Use this time to chat with the player about their week and gain an understanding to their mental and physical state to tailor the session appropriately.

SET UP

  • One age appropriate goal
  • Four cones in a square with a pile of balls next to it. Set the cones an appropriate distance away from the goal to replicate the edge of the area.
ACTIVITY
  • Player takes shots at the goal, ideally aiming for corners. 
  • Experiment with techniques that they would like to be better at or have seen other players use
  • Coach to remind player about technical aspects that should be considered or that has been covered previously
  • After half the allotted time, the player should gain focus and intent with their attempts
QUESTIONS
  • Where are we aiming? Can we try and get the ball into the top corners?
  • What part of the foot is good for each technique?

SESSION AIMS

Focus on using the fundamentals of passing and receiving the ball effectively. Using the BACK FOOT to control where possible and the INSTEP of both feet to make the pass.

SET UP

  • Rebound box or wall
  • Three cones creating a V shape opposite the rebound box
  • Player stands between the cones and the rebound box
  • Coach stands outside of the cones
ACTIVITY
  • Player passes the ball against the rebound box, controls the ball with their BACK FOOT and passes to the coach
  • The coach returns the ball to the player and the player again passes the ball against the rebound box - continuing the routine
  • The coach will move in an arc shape around the cones, creating new angles for the player to control and pass to
QUESTIONS
  • How do we know which side we should be receiving the ball on? Can we SCAN and check for the coaches position?
  • If our passing technique is poor, what will the pass back be? Slow? Inaccurate? Difficult to control?
VARIATIONS
  • To simplify: Remove the rebound box and reverse the role of coach and player. Allow the player to move and receive the ball whilst the coach remains a pivot point in the middle
  • To challenge: Use three different colour cones and require the player to move around a colour after passing to the coach and be ready to receive and play off the rebound box

SESSION AIMS

Very simple reminder of the fundamental aspects of shooting with accuracy and regulating power to ensure that accuracy is maintained. This is an opportunity for the player to ask questions and for the coach to correct any errors in technique that are holding the player back

SET UP

  • Goal and ball placed just in front of where the penalty spot would be in an age appropriate match
  • Player lines up for the ball in a comfortable position
  • Pile of balls to use
  • Coach moves around the player to observe technical aspects and make corrections
ACTIVITY
  • Player lines up in a comfortable position and takes a shot into the bottom corner of the net
  • Before each shot, the player must name the area they are aiming for
QUESTIONS
  • What parts of the foot can we use to strike the ball? And what are the different results we get from doing them?
  • How does our approach angle change the direction and style of your shot?
