Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): 1V1s, 2V2s and 3V3s

1v1s

Organisation: Red player on cone (starter point) will play the ball to the red attacker and they will choose which gate they will run through. The blue defender will run around the cone opposite to the gate and get out quickly to stop the red attacker from scoring in either min goal.

Coaching styles/interventions: Concurrent, walkthrough, coaching process.

Focus: To improve individual skills such as dribbling, defending and decision making.

3v3s

Oraganisation: In this 3v3 drill there is a third red attacker has been added in the attacking half with a blue defender marking them they cant move until the other 2 red players make it into the attacking half also. To do that the red player on the starting cone will pass the ball to the red attacker and will join in by running through the opposite to the red attacker they played it too and then will attack the mini goals against 2 blue defenders. One blue defender will start in the middle of both gates and will run through the opposite gate to the red attacker with the ball and the other defender will run around the cone opposite to the gate.

Focus: Pressure, covering, decision making, communication, movement.
