Arrival Activity (10 mins)

Session Objectives

Technical: Back foot (Open) receiving

Tactical: Maintaining Possession

Decision:

What kind of reception should I use?

Pass or Dribble?

Organisation

Layout bibs in areas

Coach gets name of player and seperates them to their area (Blue or White Player)

Player takes bib and starts on arrival

2 balls per square, players can pass to any colour

Use three types of receiving:

- Open reception (Right)

- Open reception (Left)

- Dummy, let ball run across body

Encourage players that they must face in a different direction to when the ball arrives.

*If 17 players put a middle player in who helps both squares (red)

** If tempo or quality is low coach can score teams (Plus points for good reception/Minus for slow/lazy passing)

Coaching points

If no pass is available players can dribble, keep the tempo

Dont stop the ball, can players use the receiving touch to buy time to find a pass
