Skills Gates (15 mins)

Activity Name: Skills Gates

Activity Description: Arrange players as in the image. Each player should have a ball. Players work on various ball manipulation skills which the coach introduces - soccer boxes, toe taps, pull-push, figure 8's, etc. Coach should also introduce the following futsal specific skills....

Sole Delay - player puts their foot on the ball and performs the sole delay backwards then rolls the ball back to the cones.
Sole Delay / Scoop - player performs sole delay backwards and scoops ball back to the cones.
Turn & Face - player stands between the cones and rolls the ball away from them a few yards. The run after the ball, perform a turn and face skill and come back to the cones.

Variations/Progression:

Dribble Race - if the coach shouts dribble race the players have 30 seconds to dribble as fast as they can through as many gates as possible. At the end of the 30 seconds see who dribbled through the most gates.
Gate Keepers - Select 3 or 4 players who are gate keepers. These players do not have a ball and are essentially defenders. When the coach shouts 'go' the players with the futsal balls dribble around trying to go through as many gates as possible. The gate keepers run around and try to kick their balls out. If a player has their ball kicked out they go and get it and carry on dribbling through the gates.

Pairs 1v1's (15 mins)

Activity Name: Pair 1v1

Activity Description: First player in group #1 dribbles the ball to the cone in front of them. They perform a set turn and then pass the ball back to their partner. As soon as they pass the ball back they then go 1v1 with the player who now has the ball trying to beat the other player who is the defender. After a few seconds the coach should shout 'go' and then the first player in group #2 goes. When players return they should switch roles. If you have an odd number have 3 players in a group but only 2 players go at a time. After a few minutes switch the groups the players are in. This will give them an opportunity to attack from different angles.

IMPORTANT: Before starting the activity ask players if they know any attacking moves. Demonstrate some moves and have players try them unopposed. Then have them go 1v1 and try to implement the moves.

Coaching Points:

- Player dribbling should focus on using the turn and face move to turn.

- Incorporate different futsal technical skills after the turn - scooping, toe poking, etc.

- Encourage dribbling player to be confident and use different attacking moves. They should also change their pace and direction.
