Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): GU12 B01W01W Combining to beat defenders 02 (Start Time: 2019-07-31 18:00:00)

Arrival: Control (10 mins)

4 players around the large box with a ball each, all other players start in the small box (SFA drill).

Option 1 - Players on the outside all have balls and feed inside players. Inside players control ball, pass back to outside players and run back through small square to receive from another player. Swap over after 1 min.

Option 2 - Players dribble inside square amd pass to outside players who control and pass back. Inside players then dribble through small box and repeat.

Progressions

• Varied feed (height, strength)

• Control and dribble around feeder, leaving ball

• Turn after controlling and back again (inside/outside)

• Take a touch to a specific side

SSG Transitions (10 mins)

• 3 teams, each starting in a different third.

• Team in the centre third starts with the ball and attacks one end creating a 3v3

• The defending team at that end try to gain possession and get ball back into centre third where they then become attackers and try to score in the other end and so on.

This should create lots of opportunities for combination play such as one-twos

SSG 3-2-1 Game (10 mins)

• 4v4, 5v5 etc

• Unlimited touches

• If a team scores that team moves to max 3 touches.

• If that team scores again, they move to max 2 touches and so on.

• The first team to score a 1 touch goal wins

Talking points

The key is movement off the ball to create options and making decisions before the ball reaches the player
