Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): G. ANDO SAP SESSION PLAN : RUNNING WITH THE BALL (Start Time: 2020-11-02 19:45:00)

Skill introduction (Running with the ball) (15 mins)

The players line up with a ball each and facing the sideline(backs to each other). Distance between is 3 to 4 meters and is marked out with cones.

When the coach calls 'RED' the red players run with the ball to the sideline chased without the ball by the blue players who try to tag them before they've reached the line. Depending on the outcome the runner or chaser earns a point and we line up again.

When the coach calls 'BLUE' the reverse happens.

Players must run in a straight line and stay in their own lane.

Skill training (Running with the ball) (25 mins)

SKILL TRAINING COMPONENT (RUNNING WITH THE BALL)

Organisation:

* Outside the penalty box another grid marked out in red cones.

*2 teams (Red/Blue) are divided in 4 groups of equal numbers (A,B,C & D) and positioned as shown in diagram.

*Groups Red A and D have a ball each, groups C and B line up between the cones on the byline of the grid.

*The exercise starts with the first player of group A passing the ball to the first player of group B (pass between the cones and with speed). player B controls the ball and runs with it at speed toward the goal.

*Player A follows their pass, overlaps and then chases player B who tries to finish. (The shot can only be taken from inside the penalty box).

*After the action has ended, the blue player goes with the ball to position A, the red player goes to position B.

*Now its group D and C's turn. Groups change sides regularly.

Possible coaches remarks:

* Run with the ball as fast as you can but keep the ball under control.

*Take on the defender 1 v 1 if they get in front.
