Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): ASE G03 Emerald - Building out of the back from goal kicks II

Build out of back shadow play (15 mins)

Setup:

2 teams

half of field with pugg goals on endlines

Activity:

2 teams working in opposite directions (picture only shows one team).

Each team gets ball from pugg goal and builds out of back to score in opposite pugg goal with a 1-time finish.

After scoring, jog back to original goal to get a new ball and repeat (teams always go the same direction).

Rules:

Each player on the team must touch the ball at least once before shooting;

Maximum 2 touch;

1 touch if facing own goal

Coaching Points:

+ Using inside-outside patterns to move ball up field

+ Off ball movement to see ball and next target (player or goal)

+ 1st touch to setup pass on 2nd touch
