Station 1

Organization: One goal, 2 lines beginning 10 yards from post. Cones set up in zig-zag, 2 hurdles, 1 pole.

Procedure: Split group into two groups have them start behind first cone. When coach says go, players will weave around the cones, jump over hurdles, run around pole then go into the middle of field. Coach will play a ball into middle and players will challenge each other to score. If players want to go in net have a keeper if not go to empty goal.

Coaching Points:

Progression: Introduce different movements around cones, hurdles, and poles i.e two foot hops, run backwards through cones, go around pole 2 times before going into middle.

Keep track of goals at the end.

Screen 7

Organization: 4 poles with one player on each. 4 cones with 2 players at 1 corner and 1 player directly across from them.

Procedure: players at the pole must check in front of the pole and receive a pass then play to the next pole.

Coaching Points: Players passing the ball should be checking their surroundings before receiving the ball. Players dribbling shouldnt slow down and should use technique to avoid players passing.

Progression; change direction of passing ie: clockwise counter clockwise, pass across then to the left or right. while team passes the ball players at the cones are dribbling across the middle at pace.
