Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): TSC Tech Training

Tech

1. a) receive one foot take across body and pass back with other

b) vary surfaces to control - outside, inside

c) play back with outside if you like (quickest way)

2. Work only one player (coach decides the reps on each foot)

a) Receiving player drops a little deeper - must break the line with touch

b) Use different surfaces to 'break the line'

KEY POINTS

On toes, Line of pass (where to pass it), type of Pass/Control, break the line

Tec3

THE SESSION

a) Pass to X1 and follow - defender closes passively

b) X1 to receive (backfoot if possible) and 'break the line'

c) Pass and follow into back of group as shown

KEY POINTS

Quality of pass, check to receive, receive back foot, break the line

NOTE

Remember to rotate players at X1 so that they receive on both feet

Also change passive defenders during rotations

Tech5

THE SESSION

2 teams (reds and Blacks as shown) - 2 footballs.

working on same principles as before - receiving on the back foot and breaking the line

OPTION 1. Play the ball between the blacks only and reds only so that when it gets to the end you go back the same way and it is NOT played down the side (A)

with this you can create a competition to see who completes the cycle quickest ala HOT POTATOE

OPTION 2. Blacks and reds play together with tempo and we do play down the side (A)

KEY POINTS

on toes, awareness, communication, quality of pass, type of control, break the line, movement to receive

Progression - add 2 more footballs - no sooner have you passed one ball that you be recieving the next.
