Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): ASE G00 Emerald - Improving forward runs from midfield II

Warm Up (20 mins)

Intervals:

2 min work + dynamic movements

Setup:

2-3 teams

Half field with wide areas as shown

Activity:

A) passing ball side to side

B) pass to end zone player and lay off to dribble across line

C) pass to run across offside line

Coaching Points:

+ No square passes (horizontal & vertical)

+ Movement to get "ahead" of the ball (which might be creating width)

+ Using different foot surfaces to pass/receive

+ If facing "backward" must play 1 touch

6v6 - Outward Facing Goals (30 mins)

Intervals:

5 min work + 1 min rest x 3 reps = 18 min

Setup:

Half field, working between 18 and midfield

Team in possession scores in forward set of goals OR passing across line (offside line)

Coaching Points:

+ If we attack one area, how does that affect other goals?

+ If a goal is open on other side, how do we quickly transfer ball?

+ "If she can play forward, I have to get forward"
