Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): Sunday October 20 - Indoor HL Program Kick-Off (Start Time: 2019-10-20 06:00:00)

11am Field Set Up (10 mins)

For the HL program on Sundays we should ask the BSC Staff to bring out the six mini goals at 11am. They should be put in place right away and the field split into thirds.

The 11am field set-up for the Parent & Tot and the U4-U6 should be as above:

1) Parent & Tot Area

2) Game/Activity Area # 1 (3v3 games only)

3) Game/Activity Area # 2 (3v3 games only)

For the U4/U5/U6:

20 minutes of exercises/activites

2 x 15 minute games/scrimmage (3v3 only - all players should play, no players sitting off)

Activity 1 (10 mins)

Soccer Coordination - Ball Familiarity

Organization:

- Players Dribble freely inside 30x30 area

Procedure:

- Players are asked to express themselves and be creative by attacking space and showing different moves. On coaches command players will perform different touches on the ball i.e. toe taps

Ideas:

- Coach can also play "body ball" with the players. When the coach calls out a part of the body the players must stop the ball with their foot first and then touch the ball with that part of the body. i.e. coach can say multiple body parts - foot, toe, finger, bum, nose etc. The coach can choose to speed things up to keep things fun and the players active.

- Coach can also play the "numbers game" with the players. When the coach calls out a certain number the players must organize in groups of that many players i.e. coach calls out "2" then 2 players must get together. The last group of players to organize has to do 10 toe taps etc.

Activity 3 (10 mins)

Soccer Coordination - Passing & Receiving

Passing & Moving

Organization:

- Players pass and move inside area. Focus should be on how the player passes and receives the ball.

Progression:

- To make it fun/competitive for the players add gates into the area and on the command of "SHOPPING" players look to pass the ball through the gates. Each gate = 1 point. After 60 seconds pair with the most points wins the competition. Repear game several times.

Knockout (10 mins)

Organization: Players are placed inside a 15x15m area, each with a ball.

Procedure: Players dribble around inside the area, when the coach calls "GO" players have to keep control of their ball and attempt to knock other players' balls outside of the area with their foot. If a player's ball goes outside of the area they have to run and collect their ball and perform 20 toe taps (or a skill that the coach chooses). Once completed they are back in the game. If you are the last player inside the area you are "Queen of the Ring".
