Technical (Unopposed) - Ball Manipulation (15 mins)

- Each player with a ball

- Set up a 20 x 20 grid or modify depending on numbers of players. Ensure the space forces players to play close enough to one another to ensure decision making while moving in the space.

Have players start with various dribbling techniques:

- Inside and outside

- Toe Taps

- Foundation

- Rolling ball with the sole of the foot

Introduce numbers to go with a skill:

* Have players talk to their feet and call out the skill when the coach calls the number (E.g. Coach says, "1!" Player says, "Fake Take!" completes skill and continues to dribble).

Coaching Points:

- Can we accelerate into space with a big touch after completing our skill move?

- When we get more comfortable can we keep our head up while performing a skill move?

- Can we continuously scan to find space in the grid?

Skill (Opposed) - 1v1 in a Square (15 mins)

Set-Up:

- Line up defenders behind 1 cone with a ball each and attackers in front of them ready to receive the pass and attack.

- Attack with speed, do not let the defender get set

- Use a skill move to get the defender off balance and then accelerate into space.

- Head must be up to see where defender is committing
