SAQ - One touch pass (10 mins)

1) Jump in between cones with right foot.

- Land in bend and pause (Bend meaning bend your knees to increase balance)

- Sprint with left foot driving over last cone after jumps

- Players walk back to regain energy

* Repeat with left foot

2) Shuffle through cones, two feet in between cones, push off with your right foot and come back through diagonally, two feet to the left inside cones, push off diagonally with your left foot and repeat

3) Two feet through the cones, Imaginary pass with strong foot, go back through the same set of cones and repeat x5

* Progression one touch the ball back to server, repeating same pattern 5 times then switch with next person in line.

- Open up foot to 90 degrees (Middle of your foot should be lined up to the target)

- Planted foot to the target 

- Motion through the ball to follow through to target (Draw a line with middle of foot) 

4) Two feet through the cones, receive ball from the server, one touch pass back with strong foot, go back through the same set of cones, move up to the next set of cones and one touch pass. Repeat until the last pass then sprint to cone.

*Can progress through repeated practices to weak foot

- Open up foot to 90 degrees (Middle of your foot should be lined up to the target)

- Planted foot to the target

- Motion through the ball to follow through to target (Draw a line with middle of foot)

- Weight of pass (As distance increases, increase weight of pass. As distance decreased, decrease weight of pass)

Bounce to Shoot (20 mins)

Set Up:

- Cones 7 yards apart (Middle cone different colour)

- Amount of lines depends on how many players are training

Instructions

1) Bounce the ball with reset player then drop off to receive the ball like a bench

2) Check to the ball and receive the ball with good body shape 

3) Check away from the ball and bounce the ball straight back

4) Player 2 takes a first touch past the cone and shoots
- Laces across the goal = 2 points

- Inside the foot near post =1 point

Coaching points
1) player 1 initiates exercise by dropping off cone

- Like a bench (Body shape should be facing where the ball should bounce out)

- Draw a line ( Middle of foot should be pointed towards where players first touch is going)

- Planted foot (point opposite foot to the target )

- Follow through (Foot should contact the ball at 90 degrees and end up towards target.

2) Player 2 checks off cone when Player 1 touches the ball.

- Time run and let the ball invite you in

- Laces = Lock your ankle and follow through (Draw a line from tongue of foot into the target)

- Inside = Open foot to 90 degrees and follow through (Draw a line from middle of foot to the target)

- Planted foot to the target

3) Drops towards net as one touches the ball, arrives towards cone as 2 touches the ball.

- Get in bend (Knees bent and body low)

- Find the line of the ball (directly in line of the ball and the player

- Foot to 90 degrees (Open up foot)

- Draw a line (Ball should bounce back directly from middle of foot to target
