 Session start time 1 min break and quickly emphasize how play is going / What is working, what needs improvement

Coaching Points:

Pace of play

Want the ball

Know where you are playing before ball gets to you

Body shape to receive pass to play the direction you want to play to

Movement off the ball - look to get into passing lanes - Split defenders

Can we move around and not stand idle - No traffic cones

****Must be played with complete effort****

Dynamic Stretching Afterwards (10 minutes)

Capital Shape

Goal Kick build out and general shape while building up through central 3rd

CF on the point of the triangle forcing them to our right

LF presses to deny switch

RF stays in passing lane to prevent dribble out

Force pass to OM where we can set trap and counter

LM that split field will be alone in space due to CB's playing wide

Team Fun Game

First player in each line has a ball in their hands

On go each player runs up to cones

Once at cones they toss the ball in the air and then attempt to head it off the cross bar and bounce back through the cones.

Once successful they run with the ball to the back of the line and roll it between the legs of each player in line

If the ball makes it through the player in the front of the line picks up ball and play continues

Progression:

Must dribble to and from goal and pass with feet through legs

Player on goal line passes ball to partner to head

 Heading player stays at goal line / passing player goes to back of line to play through legs
