Warm up - Ball Control (10 mins)

Organization:

  • Two teams, each player with a ball.
  • Two lines, with cones spaced out 

Instructions:

  • On coaches call players start dribbling towards the cone utilizing the Step over scissor move.

Technical Coaching Points:

  • Start by stepping over the ball with one foot, making a deliberate motion as if they are going to dribble or shoot in that direction.
  • After stepping over the ball, instruct players to use a body feint to sell the fake movement. They should lean in the direction of the step-over, convincing the defender that they intend to move in that direction.
  • After completing the step-over, players should immediately push the ball in the opposite direction with the outside of their other foot.
  • Think about the approach, making sure the ball isn't too far, or too close to one's body.
  • "Entry, Execute, exit"

TTP's:

  • Staying on the ball, "Think forward Play forward": 1st intention is to always play forward and take space ahead.
  • Breaking lines exploiting the space behind the defender.

Progressions & Regressions:

  • Progression: Make it a race between teams. When the player reaches the end of the cones, and runs back to the starting spot= 1 point.
  • Regression:  Make cones wider, or break down the move more deliberately and slower I.E. the mechanics of the step over.
