Warm up (5 mins)

Organisational / Instructions

Working in small groups players run once around the outer sides of the grid at speed.

Players must face the same direction the whole way round (direction faced indicated by small arrow) - to achieve this they should:

Sprint along the first side facing forward.

Side step along the second edge.

Jog backward along the penultimate side.

Should be a continuous flow of players being active (nobody should be waiting).

Coaching Points

Fast feet, moving at speed under control (especially when running backwards).

When side-stepping ensure that players don't knock their feet together.

Progressions / Adaptations

bring the groups together with a continuous flow between the three/ four squares.

Futsal Session Plan Drill (Colour): Skill practise one

Skill practise one (10 mins)

Organizational / Instructions

Split the players into 4s with 2 balls. 2 bibbed players start with a ball. The bibbed players pass the ball to the player in front of them. After returning the ball the players swap places. Repeat once more. Time the cross-over moves so that players receive on the move.

Coaching Points

Encourage players to face the ball at all time when driving to receive the ball.

Players need to land on their outside foot when receiving the ball - potentially get them to land on the wrong foot so they can experience the difference for themselves.

Try to get players to drive onto the ball and use their body when passing the ball.

Should be looking for the players to establish the 'land 1 2 release' - land step then release the ball.

Encourage players to to turn in air when receiving the ball and discourage pivoting - turning in the air is quicker and a tool to lose the defender effectively if done correctly.

Progressions / Adaptations

You can start this practice at walking pace and progress as players grow in confidence.

To progress this drill after the non-bibbed players could become the passers and the bibbed players become active. swapping roles after each complete movement.

Skill practise two (15 mins)

Organizational / Instructions

4 players, stood in two lines working with 1 ball.

The starting player passes the ball to the player moving towards the ball from the opposite group.

The receiving player who catches the ball should land on 1 foot, then land on their 2nd foot and pivot onto their 1st landing foot to pass the ball back the player on the side where they started.

Exercise reverses in the other direction.

Coaching Points

When landing with one foot first quickly bring the other footdown to evenly spread the body weight over two feet.

Landing foot = pivot foot

Bend knees, hips and ankles slightly on impact. This will help cushion the force of the landing. Knees should be in line with feet.

'w' placement of hand on the ball.

The ball is pushed forward with the shoulder, elbow, wrist and fingers.

Transfer the body weight from the back foot to the front foot as the player steps forward with the front foot.

Progressions / Adaptations

You can start this practice at walking pace and progress to a jog and then sprint as players grow in confidence.

If the players find this too easy the lines can be split into 4 lines each line in a corner of square shape using 2 balls. opposite lines run out catch the ball from their left using footwork to land and passing ball to player in front of them. the other two players in opposite lines run out to receive the ball from their left again and the pattern repeats. This progression applies more pressure to the players to do their footwork at a faster pace which is game like.

conditioned game (10 mins)

Organisational / Instructions

In a designated area, using lines or cones, the attacking team must attempt to dodge past each defending player.

Defending players can only use sideways movements in order to prevent this.

Coaching Points

Defenders to be light on their feet and use small, quick steps to move.

Attackers to use sharp and committed movements.

Once the attacker has reached the end of the area they become a defender and the first defender player becomes the next worker (to ensure all players have a chance to practice their getting free moves).

Progressions / Adaptations

Add in time restrictions for the attacker to pass the defenders.

Front thigh- Pull heel towards buttock. Keep back straight and knees together in line with hip and ankle.

Hamstring- kneel on one leg with other leg out in front with the foot flexed. Keep back straight and bend forward at the hips to feel the stretch down the back of the leg.

Coaching Points
