Description

Badgers U12B - Week 6 - Use of Center midfielders (6 and 8) to keep the ball and use as link player

Technical:

- Quality/wieght/accuracy of passes

- What should my body shape be to see where the ball is coming from and going?

- Where can I move to be away from other players to create a good angle for teammate with the ball?

- Which foot should I use to receive the ball?

- Which foot should I pass to, front or back?

Tactical:

- If one center mid checks to the ball, where should I go? (further and higher away from play to provide a option)

- How can I anticipate so I can plan for a split that isnt there yet?

- What does the player receiving the ball's body shape tell me about what foot to pass to?

- Can I get through? Or, if I can't, can I use the central players as link players to get through?

Psychosocial:

- Communication and teamwork between players

- Players looking to compete during training

Physical:

- Specific movements to help with receiving the ball

- Quick changes of direction/two speeds when checking to the ball
