Finishing Stations (20 mins)

Sequence 1:

Objective: Improve combination play and finishing in the attacking third

Equipment:Soccer Balls, bibs, Cones

Instructions:

• Players organized into three lines as shown, Representing the attacking 3 (7,9 and 11)

• PART 1: Left winger (#11) Drives toward cone (#2) , completes a skill move to the inside and has a shot on goal.

• PART 2: As soon as the #11 shoots the #9 drives toward the #6 mannequin, the #11 then shows underneath for a combination and plays the #9 into space between the center backs, the #9 has an a one or two touch shot on goal. (depending upon skills of player)

• PART 3: As the 11 plays the ball on the combination, the #7 dribbles down the line toward the 3, they beat the 3 to the outside then play a cross into the 7 and 9 who have now made appropiate runs into the box

Coaching Points:

1) Striking of the ball: choose the correct technique based upon the position of the GK

2) Weight and timing of the pass into the 11, can the 9 play with the closest surface to the suporting player (speed up combination), can they play to the back foot of the second attacker, can the ball in between the 4 and 5 be weighted properly

3) Choose the correct technique for the cross based on the runs

4) Timing and location of the runs (dont be in too early) Leave space to attack the ball

Progressions:

Add another combintion in which the number 7 finds the 11 who then slips the ball back outside (see next slide)

Sequence 2:

Wide Players Start on the widest cones, they check wide and open to recive the ball, the first attacker then plays a ball through the gate, into the space for the second attacker to run onto.

Flying Changes (3v3) (20 mins)

Objective:

Small sided game to bring out and exploit quick changes of possesion, moments of tranistion and overloads in the attack,

Equipment:

Four small pugs or 2 large goals

different color bibs.

Organization:

Two teams set up across from eachother, each team with half the balls. Grid size depends on age/ level/ and objective. Teams play 3v3, with aim of scoring in the oppositions' goal. When a ball goes over the endline (either for a goal or a missed shot) the team defending that end line is out, and a new group of 3 comes in. The player that missed the shot or hit the bad pass resulting in the change has to touch one of the pugs before defending. NOTE if a goal is scored the player scoring the goal does not have to touch the post

Progression:

1) If team scores, the same rotation takes place except the team that scored gets a ball played into them by their teammates waiting in line.

2) Have an all time target. (#9)

Coaching Points:

- Create passing and combination options for your teammate.

- Creat situations by beating a player 1v1 or by recognizing moments when the opposing team is in poor defensive shape or out of position (ie one player touching the post)

- Look to score.

- Read ball pressure.

- Head up and look.
