knockout (shielding intro) (20 mins)

Organization:

15x15 fields (15x30 divided into two halves)

players divided up evenly between the halves

each player with a ball, 1 defender per field

Instructions:

if defender knocks out your ball, you must do toe touches before re-entering

Coaching Points/Questions:

use dribbling abilities from the past two weeks to escape defender, use shielding ability when cornered

face defender when you can, if defender gets behind you, use shielding ability

oportunity to preform turns comes out too

Regressions/Progressions:

1: defenders must stay in their half, but players on ball can switch between the two fields

2: players on ball must stay in their own half, but if knocked out, they re-enter into other half

3: if ball gets knocked out, stay in and become a passing option for a teammate,

Coaching Points:

First touch: will you approach defender, or go straight to left or right?

Turns: can you pull of one of the turns from the introduction - How can you make them believeable?

Keep ball close

Change direction of body: how can you fake out the defender? look left and shift right, step left and go right

Prog: see who can do cryuff turn - this activity will bring out that opportunity naturally)

Coaching Points:

Approach ball quickly and control it with the laces.

Look to protect the ball while trying to score, using body.

Head up to see where defenders are and where an open goal is.

Progressions:

Prog: each team has 3 lives. when you're scored on you lose a life. once you're down to 0 you can still play but you have no goal.
