Magic Box Warm-up (15 mins)

Organization:

- Large box, maybe 15 x 20 or larger. All players start with a ball. Blue players come in in just a second.

Instructions:

- Players start out with 30 seconds to either impress you with their footwork skills or their juggling skills. Two best are rewarded with pennies

- After that players without pennies work to steal the ball and score from players with balls. Once a ball is taken, they give their penny to the player they took the ball from.

Coaching Points:

- Close ball control, head up, strength on the ball.

- Awareness to go away from the crowded space.

- Quick and smooth passes (when we get to that stage)

Progressions/Regressions:

- Take a few balls away and add another defender and ask players on the ball to find a player off the ball before someone could take it from them. If you ball is taken you get scored on, you get the penny.

- Work on the best way to move for a teammate given the space available, can you pass the ball fast and get on a new one?

SAQ + 1 v 1 (15 mins)

Organization: Same grid, but now with four gates, two sets of players stand in each gate on one side, designate one team as the defenders and the other as the attackers (this case it is blue as the attackers and red as the defenders)

Instructions:

* Players cannot go until they have made eye contact, once that is locked in the attacker can go whenever they want but they moment they move the defender can go and tag them.

* If blue gets across the gate infront of them w/out getting tagged that is 1 point, if they can get across the gate infront of their opponents that is 2 points.

* Defenders are trying to tag the attackers

* Switch lines after you go, keep track of personal points

Coaching Points:

* Three ways to beat a defender:

1- Speed (sprint and beat them with pace)

2- Fake (Draw them in, use your body to fake changing direction then go the original way)

3- Change direction (Can we use multiple fakes to eventually change direction?)

* Why would we sprint? Fake? and Change direction?

-Depends on the defenders; positioning, speed, and ability

* Head up to determine what to do as you read the defender

* DO NOT HESITATE!

Progressions:

* Add a ball for the attacking line, players must dribble across, if defender wins it they try to dribble it back through their original gate.

COACHING POINTS:

* Can we look to see how fast our defender is going to determine if we can use speed or need a fake??

* Using correct surface of foot while dribbling to keep the ball close so if you need to fake or change direction you can.

Warm-up (25 mins)

Organization: 2 Boxes (one red, one blue) 4 players wearing that color in each square. All the balls with coach outside the middle channel of the grid. Players number themselves 1-4.

Instructions:

-Coach plays the ball to either side, which ever side the coach does not pass it to one defender (#1) from the opposite team sprints over to the opposite square and defends (4v1).

-If the ball goes out off of the blue team coach immediately shouts 'dead ball!' and passes it over to the red team and the blue team then sends their one defender (#1) to defend the red team (4v1)

-If the team completes 6 passes that is one point and can continue to pass to get as many points as they can.

-If the defender wins the ball they must look to immediatly get the ball back across the middle to his teammates on the other side and rejoins them. Red sends over another defender (#2 this time)

-****Make sure you push and encourage the defender to work hard, if they do not give 100% their team will get bored and check out watching the other team get pass after pass.*****

Coaching Points:

-Correct body shape to see the entire field and help you set up your next action

-Can you quickly shift the ball and the defender to open up a lane to a teammate?

-Quality of first touch

-Can we disguise our passes to allow teammates more time on the ball?

Progressions:

-You can add number of traveling defenders

-Touch Restriction

-More passes to get a point

-Defender gets a point for his team if he successfully gets the ball back and across to his team
