Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Kentucky

Kentucky (15 mins)

Kentucky

As many players as you want can join in this one. Space should be about 30 x 30 but can obvioussly be adjusted based on need.

Start with 3 players doing a weave.

1 passes to 2 and does an overlap, 2 passes to 3 and does an overlap. 3 receives the pass and moves in on the keeper for a 1 on 1. 1 and 2 will receive passes from 4 and 5 respectively and take a 1 time shot. This all needs to be timed well or the poor keeper won't have a chance.

Once the 3 have taken their shots, the person who dribbled at the keeper gets his ball and passes to either 4 or 5 and starts a new weaving sequence where they will attack the other net and continue this movement for as long as you like.

Coaching points

Same as the 3 man weave for the beginning so see that drill for those ones.

For the dribble on the keeper, approach the keeper with speed to force the keeper into a poor choice.

For the 2 shooters, I like to say to them that it is a 1 time power shot from outside the 18 but if you have a younger age, you can adjust to 2 touches if you need.

Variations

You can certainly vary the delivery of the 1 time passes

You can add in a defender to make the dribble a 1 vs 1 before they get to the keeper (this can be tricky as it can mess with the timing of getting the shots off)
