Touches/Finding Space (15 mins)

Each player has a ball, dribbling and working touches whilst trying to find space with the ball.

Work different technical dribbles & skills -

1 - Penguin Feet

2 - Toe Taps (Moving the ball forwards)

3 - Scissors

4 - Chops

Coaching points -

Looking to find space with ball at feet so needing to dribble with head up and look where other players aren't.

When doing skills, can we push the ball into space rather than into bodies then get head up again to identify where more space is.

If found in small spaces, what kind of touches can the player work to find a larger bit of space.

1 ball between 2 players.

Players must pass the ball between eachother.

Rules of the game -

Players to always be on their toes to recieve the ball.

Move their feet to get closer if the pass is either side of them.

Learning Objectives

Technical Technical
Recieving and passing with both feet, they cannot just use one foot.
Technical Tactical
The players start to understand why we use our back foot to turn out and play the other side or other way.
Technical Physical
They are constantly passing and moving throughout the drill, small movements and large movements
Technical Psychological
They have to get themselves ready for the ball and think about where they need to move the ball.

Passing Recieving with back foot. (15 mins)

4 poles

4 cones

Place the 4 poles in a square shape, 8 steps apart. The ball starts on one of the poles with the player, they then pass either clockwise or anti-clockwise round the poles. The aim is for the players to play the ball in 2 touches. The players follow their pass, so the player behind on the cone will then step on the pole to be ready to recieve the ball.

Coaching points -

1. Can the players try to recieve with their back foot to then open up & play the ball in 2 touches.

2. Once taken their touch to get their head up to look for player to pass to.

3. Can they create a little bit of space between themselves and the poles.
