Key words: Pass, open up, calling each others name.

Progressions:

2. 5v5 - at this stage, add some team shape, for players to recognize the similarities of how to shift defensively and move off the ball offensively.

Ball Mastery (15 mins)

Organization: 10 players are placed on the outside of a 20x20yds area as

shown. Each player has a ball.

Variations:

Line 1: Inside/Outside Cuts

Line 2: Ball Boxing (Inside touches)

Line 3: Sole Rolls

Line 4: Be Creative (any moves)

Activity

Players start by dribbling across the area all at the same time,

showing correct dribbling technique (outside/laces of foot). Once

the player gets to the opposite line they perform a turn (drag back,

inside cut, outside cut) and dribble back to their starting position.

Progression:

1. Players work on dribbling across to opposite line & back

performing designated ball manipulation moves as noted below,

2. Players rotate to different lines to work on different moves after a

set time.

3. Once the players have become comfortable with what you are asking them make it a competition to see who can get the most touches of the ball as they perform the techniques.

Coaching Points: See the ball/see the player, change of speed/direction, keep head up, use all parts of both feet.
