Technical- Relay Races
Set-Up:
Place pairs of cones approximately 30 ft apart. Have players in groups of two or three stand behind the cones. One ball needed per line.
Progression:
When coach says 'go', players will dribble to the opposite cone, perform a change of direction move, and dribble back and leave the ball for the next player. When ten reps are completed, team will put foot on ball and raise their hand so coach will know they have finished. Make sure players do not dribble until their teammate has crossed the returning cone line. Play continues usuing the same change of direction move until one team has 10 points.
Optional Turns:
PULL BACK
INSIDE CUT
OUTSIDE CUT
HEEL TURN
Coaching Points:
Explode with speed after the change of direction.
First touch should be towards cone (not stopping the ball).
Change directions of the ball with ONE TOUCH - cutting foot will need to be in front of the ball for this.

Small Sided Game- 1v1 and 2v2 Outward facing goals. 15 Minutes
SET-UP:
In a large playing grid, place two goals facing outward about 40 feet apart. Place two cones apart from each other between the goals. Players with balls will stand behind one cone, players without balls will stand behind the other cone.
ACTIVITY:
Player with ball will pass it across to the other waiting player. They will then play 1v1 with the ability to score on any goal. Changes of direction will be encouraged here and will need to be performed to be the most successful. If defending player wins the ball, they will then have the opportunity to score on any goal too! If ball goes out, players switch lines and the next players will play.
Keep the game moving fast - if no one scores within 30 seconds, say 'TIME!' to end the match and let the next players start. Players keep track of their goals.
Coaching Points:
Change directions as soon as defender has closed you down.
Explode to an open goal quickly before defender recovers.
Try to perform various change moves.
Sheild the ball.
Keep the ball underneath you and NOT exposed to the defender.
