Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): Differentiation: Pass and shot

Differentiation: Pass and shot (20 mins)

Set up 5 players in position A, B, C and D as well as a keeper in goal.

Player A chooses to pass to player B or C. The receiver performs oriented control and passes to player D.

Player D performs oriented control and shot at goal. Once player D shoots, he pickas up the ball and goes into position A. Player A and player B (or C) move up into the next position.

Aims:

The players are practicing Differentiation abilities since they are practicing passing of varying distances (how much force?)

The players are also practicing Adaptability as they are practicing different positions

Progression: Once the team masters the exercise, insert a defender E in front of player D. Player D now has to find space in order to receive ball, perform oriented control and shoot.

Aims:

Apart from the Capacities mentioned above, we are now also training Reaction ability since, when the defender E wins the ball, player D needs to transition into defensive mode.
