Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): Woody Bailey 1v1 session

Top Box (20 mins)

Organization

- Using cones, create 8x8 boxes the length of the field side by side

- Add as many boxes as need in order to have 2 players to a box

- One player has a ball and the other does not

Activity

- Split the group in to their rosters and then split each roster between the amount of boxes it takes to have 2 per box

- Choose a league name for each box left to right with the quality of league getting better the closer you get to the furthest right box e.g Friday night pub league > Champions League

- The player with the ball (Def) will pass to the player without (Att) who will then attack aiming to stop the ball on the defenders start line to get a point. If the defender wins the ball they can get a point by stopping it on the attackers line.

- After each go the the person who starts with the ball will switch

- After 2 minutes the coach will call time.

- The winner will be promotes and move one box towards the "champions league" and the losing player will move one box closer to "Friday night pub league".

- The player who wins in the champions league box will stay there and the player who loses in teh friday night pub league box will stay there.

- The aim of the game is to be in the top box at the end of the competition.
