Ball Mastery (10 mins)

Method:

  • Ball each. Dribbling around the area. Using all parts of the foot (6 parts).
  • Coach calls different tasks; toe taps, in between feet (tick tocks or penguins), step overs,turn, stop etc. 
  • Give the actions a number. e.g. Toe taps = 1, in between feet = 2,  Leave ball and run to outside of grid then come back and get a different ball = 3, drag back with studs = 4. Sole Roll (sideways with studs) = 5. Then call number instead
  • Coach shouts GO & players run out around cones and back in to get a different ball
  • Coach shouts different part of the body and player must touch ball with it. e.g. Knee, bum, head, nose etc

Fun Element: Queen Of The Ring 

  • Players must try kick other players ball outside the area, while protecting their own ball
  • If ball knocked out of area, player leaves the area
  • Last person with a ball is the Queen of the Ring
  • Coach can send players back into the area to try get other players balls

Coaching Points:

  • Building on previous weeks moves. Can players remember numbers.
  • Can the player use all (6) parts of the foot to control the ball. 
  • Use studs to stop ball quickly on the call.
  • Different types of turn - V, Cruyf, drag back, step overs, scissors etc.
  • Player must get their head up, so they don't bang into other players. This is an introduction to scanning.
