Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Session 3

Screen 2

Unapossed session - skilled practice 

In this drill we will be working on wokring the ball from onside of the pitch to another and working the ball to the bi-line for a cross which will either be flashed across the 6-yard box if it isn't at the bi-line exactly or or chip backpost or a cut back for a midfielders 3rd man run.This will also work the same on the other side.This drill will last for 14 minutes to get the players used to the timing of their runs before doing it while defenders are trying to stop them. Then 1 minute to get a drink and be ready for the next drill.However, i will interveen with any slight improvements whithout disturbing thr drill to much.

The cone at the the edge of the centre circle will pass the ball to one of thw wingers they will then move to the ball slightly and recieve it again and switch it to the other midfielder who will pass it to the other winger who will set them and then make a run to the bi-line. The forward will make a run to the front post for a short cross and the opposite winger will make a run to the back post for a chipped cross and then the midflieder who played the first pass will make a 3rd man run in between the edge of the box and the penalty spot for any cut-backs.

Screen 4

Small sided game

This will be a 8-aside game with both teams setting up in the same shape as the previous drills with 2 defenders so they can take what they have done and try to impliment it into a game this game will last for 20 minutes at the end of the session where i will just let them play. However if the scrore for a cross from the bi-line it will count for 2 goal to rewards what we have worked on and try to mkae them attempt it more.
