3v1 rondos (15 mins)

Activity Name: 3v1 Rondo.  

Activity Description: 10x10,20x20 box, 2 players on the outside, 2 players on the inside- 1 defender 1 attacker.  

Players keep possession of the ball - defender can't leave the box, players on the outside have to change sides after each pass, players on the outside can rotate with the player on the inside.  Try to minimize touches. 

Coaching Points: Encourage sole delays to allow movement, encourage and get the player on the inside to move and to work give and goes and 3 player rotations around the box. Sole touches and receiving front foot is a must.  

Depending on numbers set up multiple boxes or this exercise could be done as a 4v1, or a 4v2/ 5v2 with 2 players inside.

Futsal Session Plan Drill (Colour): Turn Line 2v2

Turn Line 2v2 (15 mins)

  • Activity Name: 2v2 Turns under pressure
  • Activity Description: Evenly spread some of your group between group 1 and group 2 with one keeper if you have one. Everyone in group 1 needs a ball. Also have one fixo out on the court and one pivot. The first player from group 1 dribbles up performs a set turn at the turn line- as soon as the ball passes the line- the player from group 2 can come and pressure and try to win the ball back. Player one performs the turn and tries to score in the goal or link up with the pivot and overlap and counter quickly to make use of the 2v1 situation before the 2nd player tries to recover back and win the ball. Players can switch jobs/groups after each turn.
  • Progression / Variation: Run through set turns but priority should be given to the turn & face but you may use other turns which are appropriate for the age and skill level – outside/inside hooks, step-over, sole-roll, Cruyff.
  • Coaching Points- Players need to turn tight and quick and then go direct at the goal, try to minimize touches. Look to link up with the pivot to do rotations or line passes- pivot can look to pull the fixo to the either side or create space for themselves.  Can dribble straight at the goal and utilize the puntazo so they don't need to waste time adjusting their body to get the shot off.  Maybe give the defender more work to do by taking the ball either side to do the turn rather then down the middle.

Building from the GK (15 mins)

  • Activity Name: Building from the back using rotation.
  • Activity Description:  
  • 1. GK rolls ball to RA – RA receives with front foot. 
  • 2. RA plays to F, after pass RA moves centrally to become F and F moves on diagonal to become RA.
  • 3. P makes run towards right sideline. RA (who was previously F) plays a line pass into the feet of P and then makes diagonal run towards the center of the court.
  • 4. P now has two options 1) Play diagonal ball to back post for the run of LA, or 2) attack endline and cut back to RA who made the central run towards the top of the box after playing the line pass.
  • Progression / Variation: Add in 2 defenders eventually who are in a low press to begin with too allow teams to play out. Have players come up with their own different rotations and movements that they know. 
  • Coaching Points: Checking off, receiving front foot to either come inside the court or to go out. Communication. Using good futsal techniques such as sole control and sole delay.
