Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): HYSC Week 4 Development Program Team Training changing direction/Turns Unballance,Momentum,Penetrate
Premier Users' Club
Harrison Sessions
Description
This week the focus will be on using wide angled runs to draw defenders wide away from the center/goal creating space to penetrate into using turning moves
We will achieve this by teaching the players, multiple technical turning moves giving them the attributes that will then later be put to test with real game pressured situations, this will allow the players to gain a better understanding of decisions they have to make in a real game environment.

pinnies for progression
Instructions:
-A) attackers will set off from the start cone and run through a gate of their choice
-D) defenders will set off at the same time but run through the opposite gate from the attackers choice.
-Attackers will try to change direction to unbalance the defender, once they see the defenders momentum is committed they must try and change pace to get through the gate to score a point.
-if the defender sees the attacker is committed to a gate they must gets through the opposite gate first to steel the point ..
-players rotate to the opposite line then change roles.
points
the attackers will dictate which gate they want to go throught
Coaching Points:
-Attacking the space forward on the field (looking to
penetrate)
Identification of the space
-Identification of the defender momentum/committed
-Decision whether to change direction based on the
above
-Space ahead & defender behind cut across
-Use of body, arms etc to fake
-defenders is beat change pace
Progressions:
have the players tuck pinnies in their shorts and play 1v1
move defenders start cone closer
the defender must now try to steel the attackers pinnie before they get through the gate.
CP-
teach the players to protect their asset (pinnie) by planning their movment ahead to beat defender using body to sheild the pinnie.
change the side the pinnie is on every time so the player can work at protecting both angles.
A gets a point by getting through the gate
D gets a point for getting the pinnie.

Week 3 Restart & team shape
the restart this week will start with a kick in for U8 and throw in for U9 coach will demonstrate correct technique for the group.this week we will reinforce Goal kicks when the ball goes out behind the goal this is a perfect time to bring out the principle of play creating width having options to play out of the back first pass is free. this will also be a great moment to see from the goal kick if we can makeplay wide trying to draw the defences out and look to penetrate in the center when space is available. Team shape will be based on a 3v3 or 4v4 format pick the best formation to bring out your topic examples on diagrams above.
Rules
the secondary learning outcome from the start which every body has 5 points reinforce this by nowfocusing on there individuality in the game and their team play,they will loose points for bunching up and getting to close to their players. also, they can win points by making a successful pass or move to beat the player. coach will judge .
along with wins 3points draws 2points and losses 1point the team with the most over all points including bonus points will win the tournament at the end of practice.
Week 4 Principle of play!
this weeks principal of play will be about penetration using width encouraging the players to move wide drawing in defences and creating more space centraly to expose the goal .try to base your game stoppages around this princaples but recreate a realistic game situation to bring out your learning outcomes.

Foundations part 2 individual possession player attributes
players dribble the ball around the inside of the grid and cover each foundation M,X,R,I.players will also be given a number 1,2,3 or 4 on each team.
on coaches command they will call out a number the players whos numbers were called out will become defenders trying to steel the ball. in the example in the diagram #2 was called so both #2's will go to defend
If the defenders steel they will transition and try to score in one of the pug goals for a point
the players on the ball will gain points by keeping possession of the ball for the entire round.(30 second rounds).
Player characteristics
"Painting the Picture" of each one of the player's characteristics: * MESSI: Head up looking to get into the gaps using small, quick touches with the Pinky Toe (outside of the foot). * XAVI: Head up to recognize when there's no gaps/space, then change of direction (12 o'clock to 6 o'clock), ball comes out of your feet, and then head and eyes up getting into the new space. * RONALDO: Head up to see when there's a lot of space in front of you, then big touch to accelerate and get your head/eyes up and attack the space. *INIESTA : Head up to recognise small tight spaces ,using the inside/outside surfaces of the foot to unbalance defenders to make the space big enough to penetrate.
Foundations part 3 Group possession
-same set up as foundations part 2 but this time the teams share one ball and keep possession as a group. coach will call out a number and this time they will go to defend against their opposite color. every 3 passes they can make, they will receive a point and an extra 3 points if they maintain possession for they entire round.
-if the defence steels the ball they must transition to score to gain a point they can also combine to go to goal too.
Coaching Points:
Individual possession
-Knowing when to hold,protect, dribble and when to run with the ball
-Timing and execution of moves
-Cut & accelerate into space behind def
