1v1/2v2/3v3 (25 mins)

Ball Mastery Warm Up

Organisation

    • Players are split into two teams and each player has a number​

    • When a player’s number is called out, they come onto the pitch and play a 1v1 against their opponent​

    • Games should last 60-90 seconds each​

    • Once their game is done the player should stand behind or to the side of the goal​

    • Multiple games can be played at the same time (max of three games at once) – players will be challenged on awareness in this situation

Progressions

  • This can progress into doing 2v2s and 3v3s by calling out numbers (in total have a maximum of 6 players on the pitch at any time)
Coaching Points

    • Players should try and score as close to the goal as possible in to work on their dribbling. You can add an end zone on each side of the pitch that players must score within​

    • Encourage defenders to try and press/engage as soon as possible to put the attacker under pressure​

    • Challenge players who are dominating by asking them to do a skill to beat their player or score/dribble with their weak foot​

    • Ensure players are playing against those who are similar ability and/or physically similar – this is vital!

  • Use of this block's focus skill moves can be worth extra points
  • For the 2v2/3v3, use of this blocks core moves can be worth extra points or even a game breaker
