Warm Up - Ball Mastery (10 mins)
Speed, Agility, Quickness done for 10 minutes prior to ball mastery.
- Players dribble freely in space looking to perform tasks given by coach.
Messi - Dribbling looking for gaps between other players who are defenders (small touches, pinky toe, head up as much as possible)
Xavi - Whenever space isn't available looking to change direction (ball out of feet so can pick head up immediately)
Ronaldo - Looking to dribble where there is lots of space ahead of him (bigger touches, pick head up on touch, laces of foot nearest ball). Have adjacent space to sprint into and then sprint back into original area
Scissors - Once players have identified space, they perform scissors before taking their bigger touch into the space.
