Free Dribble (10 mins)

Each player has a ball on one pitch - u8 field size.

Players dribble freely around the space, looking to avoid other players.

Coach adds various tasks to the exercise by calling:

Toe Touches, Tic-Tocs, Pull Backs, Cruyffs, Rolls, Scissors.

Also can include - find a new ball. Dribble to the closest line. Dribble to the furthest line. Groups of 4,5,6, etc. Air juggle 4 times (catch and kick), speed dribble, slow dribble, outside foot, laces. Be creative in commands.

Where is the space?

Progression: Drop out 2/3 of balls and incorporate passing (focus on players off the ball)

CPs: Players putting forth effort, encourage trying new moves, have fun with the ball, get your head up to avoid collisions, where is the space?

Circle Passing (15 mins)

Passing exercise that can cause much confusion - takes focus

Players on the outside in a circle, other players behind one at starting point

One player (to start) in the middle

Starting point player passes ball into middle, follows pass

Receiver collects, plays it out to the first player on their left side - follows pass

REPEAT around the entire circle

Add in players in the middle and balls to require more thought/focus - look for 12 players per grid (6 circle spots)

CPs: quality technique, focus while under pressure, communication, fix errors

Pressure Defending - Tri Cones (10 mins)

Teaching basic technique for individual pressure defending

Work in pairs!

Start at red cone sprint out to blue cone, break down, shuffle back to red cone

Go to yellow cone, shuffle back to red cone

Go to orange cone, shuffle back to red cone

REPEAT starting the opposite way

Variations - Coach calls cone to get to (do quickly), relay race for everyone to get through (must do correct technique)

CPs: fast to five then slow to five, bend knees, up on balls of the feet, side on (force a direction), communication (on the ball), not trying to steal the ball just delay. FIRST DEFENDER'S JOB IS TO DENY PENETRATION (DELAY)

Set up field 36 long by 44 wide

Teams of three on the field, must stay on their side (no crossing 18)

Ball tossed in from sideline

Each player has two touches (after initial touch) to shoot

After shot:

1) blocked or saved and in play = keep playing

2) blocked and out of play = shooting team stays

3) missed goal = defending team stays

4) score goal = scoring team stays and switches ends - new team comes on

CPs: Think about how to best get a shot, type of shot to strike
