Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Get Out!

Get Out! (15 mins)

Set up:

• 1x medium-sized square, 1x larger square around the outside
• Use a few different coloured cones on the outside square
• All players with a ball 

• Players dribble in the inside square for 30 seconds or so
• Coach shouts "Get Out" and players leave their ball, run to the outside square, around a cone and back into the middle, then stop with their foot on the ball
• Points for the first 3 players to get back

• 1) Coach shouts "Get Out" (or similar!), players dribble their ball around a cone, back to the middle again and stop with foot on the ball
• 2) Same as above, but this time they go around two opposite cones on the outside of the square
• 3) Same as above but go around 3
• 4) Same as above but this time coach shouts the colours the players need to dribble around
• If you are short of balls, players without a ball have to go and win the ball back - the player who loses the ball has to go and find a new ball
• Can you implement a competitive edge? Players work in teams for example

• Change Direction
• Change Pace
• Head up
• Laces
• Identify best direction
• Controlling the ball into space
• La Pausa ('The Pause' allowing play to develop)

• What can you adjust to improve this?
• Space
• Time
• Equipment
• Players
