Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): G04 Starting Line-up & Pre-Game Warm-up

G04 Starting Line-up

G04 Starting Line-up: 1-4-4-2 Diamond

***I have 5 Team Leaders (TL). Please speak with them before the game. They know the warm-ups and can do it themselves. I'd also speak to them about who goes where if you have any questions.

1(GK): Olivia Barfield TL

2 (RB): Vivian Finley

3 (LB): Taylor Oubs

4 (CB): Morgan Cellilli TL

5 (CB): Riley Christopher

6 (HM): Grace Eatz TL

7 (RM): Brooke Cellilli

8 (AM): Chloe Lynch TL (yes I know attacking mid should be #10)

9 (FW): Jordynn Dudley TL

10 (FW): Neena Damadoran

11 (LM): Kate Hurst

Substitution:

Celeste Nader (8,11,7,9 or 10): She's a smart player but lacks aggression at times, intelligent soccer player, isn't the fastest

Katelyn Byrne (2or3): Katelyn is athletic and has an educated right foot, she can play either outside back positions

Emma Wiatric (7 or 11): Emma is a hard worker and can fill in at either outside midfield positions

Lujaine El-shami (8,7, or 11): Lujaine is a smart player and can fill in at either offensive midfield positions.

*I usually let the starters play for first 17 to 20 minutes unless someone is struggling.

Combination 3v3+1 (15 mins)

Combination Game: 3v3+1

Set-up: 20x16 grid

Progression: 2.5 minute games.

1) 5 passes = 1 point.

2) Get one point whenever you successfully play one touch with teammate

3) Get one point everytime you do a combination (wall-pass, third man run,) with your team.

Coaching points: What should you do after you pass the ball? (introduce 3 step rule) Must pass and move. When you perform combination play, need to face up defender and pass and move around them.

For one touch game: players will want to force one touch passes all the time. Introduce decision making, when is the best time to one touch pass? (what should you do before receiving the ball to make this possible <peak>)
