Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Day 3 1v1 Skills Spring Camp

3v3 Arrival Game (15 mins)

3v3: Grid: 20x30 yards. Arrival game.

- First to get ball starts with it

3. Turns without pressure (15 mins)

Station 3: Turning & Shielding w/ Pressure

1) Sheidling: partner up and have players work on shielding that ball from each other. Can start with limited pressure form defender. 3 x 30 seconds each. Last two sets full pressure.

Coaching Points: Low center of gravity, shield with arm not back, wide base. Player between ball and defender.

2) Turning without pressure

- receive and turn with hips open, play on second touch - "turn"

- "man-coming" stop the ball dead and play with outside of the foot

- "man on" turn at and angle outside foot turn or inside of the foot turn

- "man-on" lay off and peel off to receive through ball.

- flick and peel off

Optional: Back to Goal Game (20 mins)

Back to Goal Game: North Carolina

- This is duel with your back to goal. The Receiving player touches the post, when ready check to the ball on an angle - When she leaves serving player plays it into path of her run; defender from other post comes to defend - 1 vs. 1.

Progression:

1) If you choose to play the midfielder in, the next defender can go in to make it 2v2.

2) Every pass you play the next defender and attacker enter the game. So if you can turn your defender, try and beat them.

Competition: Attackers have to score 5 out of 10. Losing team does fitness. Switch position of players.

Coaching Points: 1)If defender is checking hard without slowing down, cut it against the grain.

2) Only pass when you have to. If you keep passing, more defender's come into play.3) If you keep passing in the attacking third, more time for more defenders to come. 4) Use your 1v1 ability to carve and finish. 5) most dangerous player is the one who can be the most successful in this game. 6) Finihsing angle is better if you go inside.
