Description

During this session, we will be focusing on individual first touch emphasizing to the players that quality is the most important part of the receiving the ball making sure the standards of our first touch game are high

The majority of the activities are based around repetition in patterns to allow the players to really concentrate on the level of quality they are putting into their first touch

At the start of the session you can ask each player to keep track of their pass percentage to add an extra edge to their concentration at the end you can ask them to give a rank out of 100% where their passing percentage is.

Contained in the session content are many activities to choose from it is you must not try to deliver all activities, you as the coach to choose the right ones for the groups you are coaching each day on the program based on ability levels

Warm-Up- What Surface to use introduce this in the warm-up?

Main theme-Implementing technique with stages of pressure

Conditioned game- what game to pick based on the end product & learning outcomes my group can achieveEnd game- Identify a moment to teach the restart & bring out the principle of play

MVP points System

The player MVP system is a staple of the program and one we use to set competition from the start of the session to the finish between each individual

The way the system works every player has 5 MVP points to start, Players can win more points by applying themselves to each activity with full commitment trying their hardest to progress, and being awarded points by the coach

Players can also win points during each activity by scoring the most points for that activity and for that they will pick up 2 MVP points from the coach.

We also use the point system to reinforce good standards like staying in bounds, not bumping into other players, and good behavior. the player can lose their points when these standards are not met. Try to use it as a motivator, not a punishment.

Once the players get used to this system they will become more responsible for their own development

Coaching In the Game (Please focus to make two stoppages during the end game to reinforce the learning outcomes below) Is Vital FOR THE PROGRAM TO PLAYERS BE TEACH ON A GAME SCENARIO

Restart Week 7 , kick off

Principle of play Week 7: Support, Movement

Movement -Is how players move off the ball to create space for their team mates or for themselves. Players may look to move between lines to receive the ball or make runs in behind

Support - Players should look to create space from their movement and look to provide angles and distance to be able to receive the ball.
