Sesión de Fútbol (Sesiones de Academia): 9+ Advanced Shooting (Long shots)

Introduction (10 mins)

Organization:

-Set up in 30x30 area. teams of three. one ball per team.

Instructions:

-Teams will start with the ball in the hand. On coaches command they will volley the ball to their team, once they catch the ball they look to move around and find another pass to their teammate. Using the laces to volley to their teammates for every catch. Play for X amoutn of time, the team with the most catches wins. No bounces allowed.

Coaching points/Questions

- What are we using? Laces, we want to put allitle power to get the ball to our teammates.

- Why because we are trying to get the ball over longer distances, can we get it above other people or can we find a clear channel to drive the ball.

- Encourgae the players to use the space, give them incentives to make longer volleys. If the volley the ball 15 yards and catch it they get 3 points.

- How do we use our laces. Watching the ball hit the surface we are using, toe pointed down, hitting through the ball for more power. (Break down technique more if needed)

Regression/Progressions

R - Allow one bounce before catch.

P - Hand ball. Set up goals and have them play handball. Ball can only be passes using volley. Can only steal ball in air must be 5 feet away from person volleying the ball.

Progression 1 (30 mins)

Organization:

-Set up in big area at least 30x30. two playing endzones 30 x 7 with a middle grid. No players allowed in middle grid

Instructions:

- Split into two teams, or if numbers high split into two fields and play 2v2. Players will look to play keep away in endzone area. once they complete X amount of passes they can look to drive the ball across to other endzone to score a point. Other team must receive and control the ball in order for point to count.

Coaching Points/Questions:

-What are we using? Our laces to lift the ball across the middle grid.

-Why? so that we can get the ball over distance and high enough to drop in to other endzone.

-Look to encourage the players to use the space they have. Adjust space if needed. give more deepth if 7 yards isn't enough. See what ways they use to get the ball across.

-How do we get lift and power of longer distance? (Break down technique) I.e. using laces to strike the moving ball, hitting underneath the ball to get lift, follow through to get power.

Regressions/Progressions:

Conditioned Game (20 mins)

Organization:

-Set up 25x25 area inside 30x35 area.

Instructions:

Team must complete X amount of passes before being able to leave middle grid and try and score on goal.

Coaching Points/Questions:

-What can you do to find success

-Challenge players to solve problem, silence for fist few minutes to see what players can do

-Can we create goal scoring oppurtunities.

-What technique are we using. driven shot Vs. inside placement (Yes driven long distance shot is the topic but let them be creative, encourage long shots but dont discourage creative thought).

- How do we use our laces. Watching the ball hit the surface we are using, toe pointed down, hitting through the ball for more power.

Regressions/Progressions:

R- reduce amount of passes. Take away defender and add them as nuetral bumpers.
