Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): U10 Skill Centre Session (Start Time: 2022-08-23 18:45:00)

1v1 Warm-Up (10 mins)

1v1 Warm-Up

Equipment

• 4 yellow cones, 2 orange cones

• 2 mini goals
• 1 ball per player

Diagram Description

1. Players begin the warm-up by completing several fundamental movements through the cones. Players will mirror the movements of the opposite line. 

2. Players will go through the cones again, but this time completing several different dribbling skills.

3. Players will dribble through the cones again completing whatever dribbling skills they'd like. This time, on their way back to the line, they will be met by a defender to take them on 1v1. Be sure to give players more time so the 1v1s can run smoothly.  

Safety

• Make sure players go AROUND the cones when returning to their respective lines.
• When completing the 1v1s make sure players stay away from the dribbling area, play is dead if the ball enters this area.

Attacking Overload - 3v2 (25 mins)

Attacking Overload - 3v2 -> 3v3 

Equipment

• 6 cones
• 10 balls
• 2 mini goals, 1 large goal

• You will need 1 goalkeeper, 2 defenders beside the net, 3 attackers around the arc, 1 defender at the halfway line.
• Play begins with the defender playing the ball in to one of the attacking players.
• Once the attacker with the ball crosses the arc, the defenders can close the attackers down and the third defender (at half) can track back to help defend. 
• Play until there is a goal or the ball goes out of play. 
• If defenders win the ball, they can score on the mini goals. 

Combination Play

• Must complete a successfull 1-2 to score.
• Overlap to score.

Counter Attack

• Must take a man on 1v1 before scoring.

Lightning ⚡ (15 mins)

Players line up behind the cone, one player in net. Coach has all the balls next to the net. 

1. Coach plays the ball in and player takes a shot first time.

2. If the player scores they go to the back of the line and the keeper is out (waits behind the net). If the player misses the target or the keeper saves, that player is now in net.

3. The game continues until there is one player remaining. When a player is out and waiting behind the net, they can catch the ball off a missed shot to get back in (can't hit the ground).

* As soon as the players understand the game, pick up the pace.

* If the ball hits the crossbar, everyone is back in.

* Have players who are out collect balls to get back in ex. "Bring me three balls and you're back in!"
