Screen 1

Warm-up: Players with a ball each will be dribbling the ball inside the field. Coach will place triangle with the cones like in the draw. Players should be dribbling the ball and when get near one of the triangles they will dribble in and then dribble out going through one of the sides of the triangle(like in the draw above). Coach needs to make sure players are keeping the ball close all the time, controlling it with pace, changing directions and after speeding up. 

Coach will ask how many gates players were able to go through.

Variation: coach can ask different ways to dribble the ball: weaker foot, laces only, sole, using both feet.

Coaching Points: 

- keep your heads up while you are dribbling the ball

- change the directions quick and accelerate after

Time:10-15 min

Split the field with 2 end zones like in the draw. Also, split the players in 2 teams. Players in the end zone with a ball each. In the middle, 3 players as taggers, 2 from one team and 1 from one team. 

For the game, players needs to drive from one end zone to the opposite one. Defenders will try to steal the ball from opposite teams (blue players try to get white soccer players, and vice-versa). Teams that finish with the big amount of players with ball in the end zone, wins. 

The game is about timing: players need to keep looking up to see the space available, and dribble towards the space. Players must be careful with the timing: when to leave the end zone, when to advance on the field, if a player come towards them, they must change directions to avoid the pressure. 

Coaching points:

- Keep your heads up to dribble and use the space

- Timing to use the space, use the space available to go away from the defender. 

- Pressure is coming? Change quick your directions

Variation: - next round, all players must dribble with the weak foot

- players can only dribble the ball with the sole

Time:12-15 min

1v1 with gates: split kids in two teams. One team with balls the other without it. Player with ball will make a pass to the opposite team. The opposite player, attacker, will receive and try to go thought one of the two gates in the opposite side. If player is able to go thought, they get a point. After the play, players return to the same spot. We will rotate roles per time (3-4 min). Team with highest score, wins.

Coaching points:

- keep your heads up to see the space and the defender

- change the directions, going away from pressure

- speed up after changing directions

- keep the control of the ball all the time.

Time:15 - 18 min

Regular game with regular rules. We will start the game without nets, players to score a point must dribble the ball and get in the end zone with it. 

After a time, coach can put the nets in the game, but, to be allowed to score, player needs to get in the end zone dribbling the ball, and then will have a GK x 1 situation.

Time:15 min
