Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): Academy Spring 2023 meso cycle 1 (Start Time: 2023-03-15 18:00:00)

Screen 1

3 sets of activity for 3 groups of 3 players. 15yds x 5yds of space. Each player needs their own ball. Teach a set of attacking moves such as step overs, scissors, Matthew’s move. Create groups based on player ability, and adjust challenges accordingly (slant the line).

1st player in each group dribble at mannequin, and perform the designated move. P-1 continues to dribble to opposite end of activity, and turns (designate a turn move also). As soon as P-1 turns, P-2 enters activity so they meet at the mannequin and do their moves together (simulates moving defender).  When P-1 exits activity, P-3 enters with P-2. 

2min interval, with 1min rest/demo next move. Coach corrections “in the flow”, no stop/freeze (if players are slow to grasp the movement, move them down the line). Improve the fitness, and intensity, by adding a competitive moment such as groups against themselves for number of completed reps, or if ability is similar compete against other groups.
