Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): ADP GU11 Training - Dribbling & RWB - Week 6 (Start Time: 2019-11-26 18:45:00)

Gates Scoring (15 mins)

Organization:

One-third of indoor turf field

6 players

Balls

Cones - three colours

Pinnies

Activity:

In a game of 3v3 or 4v4, the team in possession dribbles through gates to score points. Points can be scored in any direction, as long as the same gate is not scored on consecutively.

After about 2 minutes of play, transition to scoring in one colour only, with the coach assigning a colour or the team selects a colour by dribbling through the first gate.

After a few minutes, the coach holds up a cone to indicate which colour the team in possession has to score on. The coach will continuously change colours to encourage players to communicate with one another and to scan the field while dribbling.

The blue gate in the centre of the field can be used as a neutral colour at first, and then later in the game, the blue gate can be a higher number of points because of the difficulty to dribble through.

Coaching Points:

First touch decision and first touch control

Keep the ball close when dribbling

Change of direction to evade opposing defender

Purposeful dribbling
