Quick Strike finishing around the box (20 mins)

Quick Strike finishing around the box

3 lines of players with 1 player on the edge of the 18 yard box

Player A plays the ball forward (does not go into the 18 yard box with his touch forward) and then takes a strike on net.

Player B plays the ball to player A who sets for player B to take a strike on net.

Player A after they play the set overlap player D

Player C plays a pass to player D who takes their first touch to the middle of the field and then plays the ball into the corner for overlapping player A who then looks for a cross.

Player C will make a run near post, Player B will curl their run behind player C and go far post and Player D after the ball into the corner will slide to the top of the box.

Player A will now look for 1 of the 3 options for a finish.

Once complete, each player brings a ball back to go to the end of a cue except for player A. The player who crosses (in this example player A) would then take up the edge of the 18 yard box.

Since A moved to D, B moves to A line, C moves to B line and D moves to the C line.

Coaching points

- eye up to see the keeper and target then eyes to ball for a proper strike

- after first shot happens, follow the shot for a step or 2 to then check back to the ball from the 2nd shooter

- after the set is made, quickly overlap the wide player

- player C ball to player D is a switch of the pitch in the attacking third (pace, type of ball, driven or lobbed?)

- player on the edge of the 18 must picture receiving this switching ball, the defender is likely goal side and closing out so first touch into the middle of the field towards the net will slow that close down and thus open up the overlapping option

- curled run from the overlapper so they can get their hips squared to their target on their cross.

- crosser must picture in their head, low ball near post, drive ball through the 6, chip back post, set to the top of the box

- the 2 players making runs into the box must think about the timing of their runs, communicate near and far post and stagger their runs so that they don't approach the cross flat

Jodar Drill

Set up

Split the team in half

Balls to the coach as indicated next to the attacking player

Defenders go on 1 cone each from the goal line and curling towards the attacking players every 5 or so yards

Play

Players match up and go one on one with a 60/40 ball sent from the coach to the attacking player to go to net

After they are done, the attacking player goes back behind his line and the defending player goes to the cones and moves up one spot (so if he was at the closest cone to the goal line, move forward one spot, if the player was on the closest cone to the attacker, they move to the back closest to the goal line)

After everyone goes, the first 2 go again but now the angle of the defender has changed since they aren't on the same cone.

Once everyone has gone from each defensive cone, teams switch roles

Details

Attacker identifies where the defender is coming from (distance and angle to them)

Attacker and defender need to close the ball at pace (defender must identify when to slow their approach)

Attacker should be thinking about shifting the ball across the defender where they came from or do a trick (dragging or dribbling) to create space to go towards the net to finish

Players line up behind the cone, one player in net. Coach has all the balls next to the net.

1. Coach plays the ball in and player takes a shot first time.

2. If the player scores they go to the back of the line and the keeper is out (waits behind the net). If the player misses the target or the keeper saves, that player is now in net.

3. The game continues until there is one player remaining. When a player is out and waiting behind the net, they can catch the ball off a missed shot to get back in (can't hit the ground).

* As soon as the players understand the game, pick up the pace.

* If the ball hits the crossbar, everyone is back in.

* Have players who are out collect balls to get back in ex. "Bring me three balls and you're back in!"

King Louis (30 mins)

King Louis

2 teams in 2 18 yard box's attached. Play 5 vs 2 with the 5 having 2 touches max and the 2 having unlimitted. The 5 cannot cross into the other grid, nor can the 2. No goalie but players can go in the net and stop the shots without their hands.

Goal is to create scoring chances from the 18 with combination plays either with each other or going to their strikers to get set passes. They can of course look to play their strikers in for opportunities as well.

Coaching Points

spacing depth and width in the 18 to keep possession and set up lanes to shoot

speed of play

communication for set passes
