Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Change Of Direction - Station 1

Pressing Box (10 mins)

Method:

Agility: Coloured Box - 4 Colours then sprint 10M through gate. Perform a total of 6 Reps.

Coaching Points:

Call a colour and the player must press that colour and return to the middle. 

Wait for the player to return before calling the next colour. 

Ensure the player achieves and forward lean and projects the body towards the desired cone, then decelerate by getting low and push back to the start position. This drill is an agility drill as it is reactive and the player does not have a planned route.

This drill will take the skills learnt from changing direction efficiently and adding in a reactive element to make it more game specific. 

This will translate to pressing efficiently in a match.
