Warm up - Cinema Trip

Assistants to be alert at all times & encourage participation from all players

Coach to be energetic, fun & organised for the session to run smoothly

Warm up - All players with a ball dribbling around the area taking small touches & using both feet.

Bring players in to ask if they like to go to the cinema & bowling & they will be taking a trip there today.

Session setup - Gates which will be known as 'money gates' to be spread around the area

Players to dribble around & go through as many gates as possible

Coaching Points

Small touches, close control, use different parts of the foot, awareness of space & dribbling into free space

Bring all players in who has got a favourite film pick somebody e.g. Monsters Inc

Ok Monsters Inc is £6 for us to watch at the cinema so we need to save up some money

Players have to dribble through 6 money gates to get enough to watch the film

When they have dribbled through all 6 gates, they will pick their ball up, put it on top of their head and shout Monsters Inc at the top of their voice

Progressions

Add more films for higher prices so players have to dribble through more gates

Give out bonus 'popcorn' or 'nachos' for good dribbling skills

Coach to be very energetic & have players believe they are trying really hard so they can watch the film

Passing Bowling Session

Players will know leave the cinema to go Football Bowling

Session setup -

Split players into groups

Setup footballs on top of cones in a triangle shape which will act as the pins.

Each team to have a bowling ball (football) to use to try and hit pins down

*Coach to be aware that if the numbers are big in the group then needs to be very organised. Might be better to have slightly bigger groups so each coach can control 2/3 groups each. Although waiting times will be more, encourage participation by getting players cheering for teammates, shouting etc

Aim of the game - The first team to knock all balls of the cones are the winners

Session Rules -

Players must strike the ball to knock off the balls.

Whichever player has just had a turn, they must go and retrieve ball, take it back to their teammates before the next player can strike the ball

Coaching Points -

Passing with inside of the foot

Striking with laces

Generate power to reach the balls

Accuracy

Teamwork

*Coach & assistant to be very active, helping retrieve balls, helping players with the technique of passing & offering lots of encouragements.

Players will be ready to move on into games now where the aim of being accurate whilst passing & shooting can be taken into the matches.
