Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): 1v1 to Endlines - U10

1v1 to Endlines (15 mins)

Session Organisation:

• Divide the players into two even groups with 1 ball.
• End line at each end for attackers to dribble over.
• One group good attacking (red) and one group (yellow) defending. Change after 3 groups of red have attacked the end line.
• Field size 15 (L) x 10 (W).

Rules/Explanation:

• The reds have possession and attack the opposite end line.
• If the yellow defender wins the ball they score by dribbling over the end line. 
• Draw in defenders and make a move and beat the defender 1v1.

• The time of sets or size of the area can be adjusted to suit the needs and abilities of the players.

Technical Coaching Points:

• As above.

Tactical Coaching Points:

• 1v1 moves to create a opportunity to dribble the ball over the end line.
• Defenders to approach attackers quickly, then slow down when near the ball slowly, get a sideways stance and get down low. (Quick, Slow, Low)
• Force attackers to shield the ball or force them sideways.
• Stop the attack.

Session Timing:

• Complete 4 sets of 3 minutes with a 1 minute rest in between sets.
