Warmup: Pass and Move (10 mins)

Organization: Group of 4 players set up in a box formation. On ball to start. Extra players can stand behind each player in the box ready to step in when the player moves on. Start with one ball at Red #1.

Instructions:

Red #1 passes ball to Red #2 and then sprints to #4's line around the field of play. Red #2 receives pass on right foot with one touch and then with their second passes it to Red #3 and then sprints to fill in behind #1. The players continue the cycle passing the ball on and running to the the position left by their passer and getting in the back of the line at that spot.

Coaching Points: 1. Ask the players if they can identify all the triangles created in the patern. 2. Reinforce mechanics of passing require players to face their target and pass with the inside of their foot. 3. Players should be taking their first touch in the direction of their intended pass.

Progression: 1. Add a second ball to the pattern at Red #3 when the other ball is at Red #1

Part: Through Pass (20 mins)

Organization: 3 v 2 with the field set up into 3 zones. 20-30 field. One ball

Instructions:

Red begins with the ball. Players must get the ball through Zone 2 to the team in Zone 3. Blue cannot enter Zone 1 or 3 and must try to intercept ball. Ball must be passed on the ground and must be two touch max per player. If ball is intercepted by Blue or if the ball is passed out of the field of play, the team that is dispossessed or loses the ball goes into the middle. Extra players will rotate into each of the teams every minute. Players waiting on the outside will rondo while they wait.

Coaching Points: 1. Encourage the players to use all the space within the play area to create passing angles. 2. Encourage the receiver to move continually to allow better passing angles. 3. Encourage players to move the ball quickly within the zone to create passing opportunities across Zone 2.

Progressions: 1. One blue player can enter Z1 or Z3 to intercept the ball. 2. Red players must one touch pass the entire time.

Part: Bermuda Triangle Tourney (20 mins)

Organization: Set up on both full nets. Red sets up in the positions shown in the image. Blue sets up behind and provides the keeper.

Instructions:

#3 Red passes to Red #1, as Red #1 passes to Red #2, Red #3 begins to make a run. Red #2 lays off the ball to the middle for Red #3 to shoot on net. Each shot Red rotates clockwise. Blue provides the keeper and gets the balls that miss, delivering them back to Coaches in the middle without interfering with shooters. Each team gets 4.5 minutes of shooting. Then Red switches with Blue. Winner plays Winner on other side for overall win.

Coaching Points: 1. Before players start, coaches will demo a properly taken shot and look to speak with players individually after observing. 2. Looking for chest over ball, planting foot to the side of the ball, slight tilt on planted foot to allow full range of swinging motion, and a full swing through.

Progressions: No progressions.

Instruction: The players will be permitted to play a game with CMSA rules for U11 with our expected practice numbers. Only special condition is that players that players must complete one triangle pass before scoring is available.

Coaching Points: 1. Reinforce looking for through balls delivered forward to allow players to run onto the ball. 2. Reinforce wide shape in possession and tight formation in defence

Cooldown & Session Debrief: Review main points of the session during post game stretch: triangles to advance ball, movement to immediate pass/shot to enhance success, mechanics of shooting.
