Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Development (Older)

Starting Layout

Organisation

We are expecting to have 10 players in this group as we have 20 signed up in total... Matthew is to take the younger grou (10) and follow that session plan (please see)

All session we will do our best to run as 'whole-part-whole'

Mark out an area in the corner for drinks/bags/jackets.

Ash is to take group straight onto his pitch & warm up.

Older group is to warm up using catapiller/chaintag warm up, split into 3 groups based on age & size, these are likely to be groups for the SSG's

We need 2 pitches of 18x12 yards set up as shown. 1 football in the centre of each with a nest of spare footballs in the middle.

Bibs set up on each pitch.

Set the pitches up in differnt colours as shown, this is so players can differentiate more easily.

Dribbling

Use The Pitches Already set up.

4 starting stations set up as seen in diagram.

4 players to go at same time. Players are to dribble up to the 'righ' of the cone, then burst out to the left.

Then the next group of players are to go on coaches command..

We will th swith the direction.

Key Coaching Points:

- Little touches upto & around the cone

- Big toches once past the cone to get away from defender quickly.

- Head up

- Avoid cone (defender)
