Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): Position specific

Back to Goal Game (15 mins)

Back to Goal Game: North Carolina

Create two Teams:

One is defending and scoring in counter goal. One is attacking and looking to score on big goal. 6 seconds to get shot off.

- This is duel with your back to goal. The Receiving player touches the post, when ready check to the ball on an angle - When she leaves serving player plays it into path of her run; defender from other post comes to defend - 1 vs. 1.

Progression:

1) If you choose to play the midfielder in, the next defender can go in to make it 2v2.

2) Every pass you play the next defender and attacker enter the game. So if you can turn your defender, try and beat them.

Competition: Attackers have to score 5 out of 10. Losing team does fitness. Switch position of players.

Coaching Points: 1)If defender is checking hard without slowing down, cut it against the grain.

2) Only pass when you have to. If you keep passing, more defender's come into play.3) If you keep passing in the attacking third, more time for more defenders to come. 4) Use your 1v1 ability to carve and finish. 5) most dangerous player is the one who can be the most successful in this game. 6) Finihsing angle is better if you go inside.
