Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Seoul Earthquakes, Session 5: 12:00 onwards - Y5, Y6 & Seniors

Warm Up (5 mins)

Objectives:

- to provide ball manipulation and movement repetitions in preparation for session

Warm up - Organisation:

The diagram demonstrates 2 ways to set up - ideally players are in pairs to ensure extra time on task. If the group is large it can be done in 4`s or 3`s with players swapping in and out.

- ensure outside cones are a different colour to the 2 on the inside

- players perform co-ordination exercise from red to blue and then dribble with the ball from blue to blue, stop the ball and then continue the co-ordination exercise

Ensure players get plenty of repetitions of each exercise and ball manipulation task.

Then without breaking, transition into next technical exercise:
