Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Cross-step Session for YDP

Screen 1 (30 mins)

1a. On the line, left or right call, 1st one past the 8m line

1b. Either 'forwards' or 'backwards' call to indicate initial movement on the line.

 - Same left/right call so you cross-step on the move rather than static.

1c. Progress into a jog/back pedal then go.

 2a. Isolate the movement to get a 'feel/awareness' for the movement. 

- 3 goes both sides

- add bands if necessary

- Queues: load on outside leg, stay low to the floor and keep knee close and tight to body.

3. Mirroring drills, on a colour/number call, cross step through the line

4. 1v1 races, bib in the back of red players' shorts, defending player has to utilise the cross/drop step to prevent red player getting into the end zone.
