Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): PMSC Academy session December 4th

1v1 Transition game (10 mins)

2 teams split evenly, 2 goals on each end offset from each other.

- 1v1 begins, one player with ball (GREEN)  attacking other team goal to try and score.

- once the player scores, the defending player leaves the field, at the same time RED adds a new player who is now the attacker, GREEN attacker now transitions and tries to defend oncoming attacker. Game flows until a desired score is met.

Notes: Can we teach our players transitioning attacking and defending principles, Quick reactions to go from scorer to defender?

          - can we score early to avoid being caught too far up the field and having to chase instead of setting up and blocking the route to goal for opposition.

Progression based on skill level: 

   -  Create a time based game, (give players 5-10 seconds to score, once time ends, next attacker goes straight in)

   - add a neutral player as a bounce pass to encourage pass and move play style

Passing pattern with attacking move and finish (10 mins)

1st Variation:

- Pass and follow your pass to stations 1 and 2,

- station 2 dribble to mannequin, attacking move and diagonal pass into running player to finish into nets.

- All players should rotate one cone, continue flow.

2nd Variation:

- bounce passes at stations 1and 2

- station 2 takes touch around manniquinn and plays pass for one time finish.

Progression:

- If big numbers, create 2 separate activities, Game - first to 10 goals

- Can we use weak foot

- Can we check of markers, delay movement around man, 

- Can we play 1 touch.
