Footwork & Sole Control (15 mins)

Activity Name: Footwork & Sole Control

Description: Players work through cones using different footwork patterns. Combinations should include:-

Right foot only (two touches inside and two touches outside of foot).

Left foot only (two touches inside and two touches outside of foot).

Roll the ball with one foot and tap it forward with the other.

Insides only.

At the final cone they play a pass to the player opposite them and then takes their place (in addition to regular passes have players work on 'puntazo' (toe poking). Player receiving the ball does the following (spend 2-3 minutes on each):-

- Receives sole of foot and rolls on a diagonal.

- Receives sole, performs sole delay and scoops to the side over the cones.

- Receives sole, performs sole delay and rolls across body.

Progression:

After completing the pass to the player opposite the player who just dribbled through the cones moves towards the end player and is a passive defender. The player receiving the ball now works on attacking moves (scissors, side-steps, Ronaldo's, step-overs, etc) to beat the passive defender - THE PASSIVE DEFENDER DOES NOT TRY TO WIN THE BALL.

Changing Angles 1v1's (15 mins)

Activity Name: Changing Angles 1v1

Activity Description: Arrange Players in 3 groups. Each group has one player go out and become a defender. Group on the left goes first the player at the front of the group goes 1v1 against the defender, count down from 5, then let the middle group go, count down from 5 and then let the far group go. After attacking that player becomes the defender in that group. The defender retrieves the ball and returns to the group. After a couple of minutes rotate the groups.

Progression:

Before attacking the first player passes the ball to the defender. Defender controls using the sole of the foot and passes back, players then go 1v1. Before attacking player performs the sole delay and then attacks.

Coaching Points:

Defender

- Send players to the outside, or weaker foot for middle group.

- Good positioning.

- Don't dive in.

Attackers

- Attack at pace.

- Look to use a variety of skills - encourage sole roll.

- Make defender change their stance.

Player Rotations - 3 Player (20 mins)

Activity Name: 3 Player Combos

Description: Players work on building the 3 out of the back. Introduce the following combinations:-

1 - Give &Go - Fixo plays the ball to the ala, checks forwards then moves towards the ala to work a give and go.

2 - Parallel Pass - Fixo plays the ball to the ala, runs horizontally across court then makes a diagonal run behind the defender for a 'parallel pass' down the line.

3 - Fixo plays the ball then makes the horizontal run again. They then make the diagonal run but this time 'block' the defender so that the ala can come behind them and bring the ball towards the center of the court.

4 - Fixo plays the ball and moves towards the opposite ala, the opposite ala comes in and works the give and go with the ala on the ball.

Coaching Points:

- Good communication.

- Timing and angles of runs.

- Futsal technique on the ball - sole of the foot, scooping, turn and face, etc.

3 v 3 Rotation (20 mins)

Activity Name: 3v3 Waves
Activity Description: Arrange players into multiple teams of 3 (teams of 4 if you have more numbers or more advanced players). One team comes onto the court ready to defend. The other teams arrange themselves on one end, one team behind the other (teams have a fixo, and two ala's). The Fixo has the ball and passes to any one of the defenders. The defender plays a first time pass back to either the player who passed the ball or one of the other two players. These teams now go against each other. When the ball goes out the team that was defending gets set up on the end of the court where the other teams are. The team which just came on now sets up as the defending team.
If you have less players make it a 3v2 or 3v1. In these situations if it is a 3v1 the last player to touch the ball stays on and defends the next group. If it is 3v2, the last player to touch the ball comes off and the other two players remain.
Coaching Points:
- Encourage players to use various 3 player rotations/combinations -
Give and Go's, Parallel Pass, J Runs, Blocking, Opposite Ala Give & Go's
- Make sure players are using futsal techniques - sole of the foot control, scooping, sole delay, turn and face.
- Good communication between players.
