Introduction (10 mins)

Organization:

- Players organized themselves in a line with a good amount of space between them

- Ball each

Instructions:

- Players dribble to the red line using their pinky toe to dribble (outside of their foot) . When they get to the red line, players must do a soft touch with the outside of their foot to make the turn, using their hips to turn their body to go back

- As soon as the players start getting comfortable with this technique, coach will turn it to a competition, where the first player to make the turn and arrive to the start line earns a point

Regressions/Progressions:

R - Increase the size of the space between the players

P - Challenge players to only use their outside of their foot.

Main Activity (30 mins)

Organization:

- Red reentry gates on each corner of area.

- Blue exit gates on each side of area.

- Attacking (Red) players with ball each.

- Two defenders (Yellow) without ball.

- Two pugg goals positioned on sides.

Instructions:

- Attacking players look to gain points by dribbling through blue exit gates, and re-entering play through the red entry gates. 1 point for every time they complete the cycle. Cannot go through the same blue and red gates consecutively.

- Defenders positioned within the area. Their job is to prevent attackers from dribbling through red gates, and if possible, steal the ball. If they are able to steal, they look to score on either of the two pugg goals. 1 point for every goal scored by defender.

- Rotate roles every 90 seconds.

Coaching Points/Questions:

- Awareness of surroundings - space, gates, defenders.

- Decision making - "What is the best gate to attack? Will it always be the closest one?".

- Type of touch as you go through the gates - how can you get back into the area as quickly as possible?"

Soft Touch Like Messi

Hard Touch Like Ronaldo

Regressions:

- Increase the number of gates.

- Play a couple rounds without the defenders
