Description

YCP MSOC GK Session focused on footwork and handling.  

   - No explosive movement as all four GKs are coming in with some kind of nick (Mason's hamstring/low back, Brady's thumb, Keegan's shoulder, Michael's wrist)

   - For Decision Boxes, have one server and one worker per grid (not double) -- and add in blocking opportunities

Old School Activation (10 mins)

Simple activation work to prep GKs for various actions.

Notably, get in a warmup of movement prior to activation


1) GK side on, server calls Turn, GK turns square to server for volley - Reps as desired

2) GK double-tap footwork over line/hurdle/cone then set for volley - Reps as desired

3) Spread save position for volley - stretch out hips and hamstrings - Reps as desired

4) Butt-Knees-Feet - get used to hitting the ground - Reps as desired

CPs: Build in pace as we go along, touching on footwork/handling/spread shape/diving, technique is important

Coach Note: College GKs especially for this activation routine.

Balance Box (10 mins)

GK starts in back gate

GK moves forward in quick and clean manner to middle red cone

Server strikes volley to hands for save --> return ball to server

GK moves forward again to front gate

Server strikes second volley to hands for save

Repeat

Variations: Strike ball from ground (gives more realistic vantage point), change angles (ie: start from another gate and come on an angle for left and right service, acting as if the goal is behind on an angle - perhaps even move a goal in behind to mimic game scenario), have additional server beyond first server and have them play a free ball after the last balance hold

CPs: Stay on balance, move quickly then slow into set, be prepared, avoid double-foot jumping into set - be calm and slide feet into set

Block Art (10 mins)

Train the Block Save in 1v1 opportunities — this is only one of three ways to deal with 1v1 (also Spread and Cobra)

1 - Pair players by age and ability level

2 - Yellow GK is prepared to do a Block save while the Red Attacker is simply trying to knock the ball off the GK

3 - Red Attacker moves toward one of two stationary balls (no fake outs)

4 - Yellow GK moves to same ball and gets into Block position 

5 - Red Attacker reasonably strikes ball to ricochet off GK (to get GK used to being struck)

CPs: GK leads with mirrored foot to attacker, drop back knee but float it off the ground, keep shoulders/hips square to attacker, “hug a tree” with arms, chest/shoulders over the ball

Football/Soccer Session Plan Drill (Colour): Double Box - Decision Making

Double Box - Decision Making (15 mins)

Very simple to complex. Each GK in own box - about 5x5 and reasonable distance apart. Could use cones or poles - each is numbered 1-4 (could use letters, colors, directions).

Pro 1 - Serving GK call number - Working GK footwork around cone, back to middle for service

Pro 2 - Serving GK call direction - Working GK footwork to that side (imaginary line), back to middle

Pro 3 - Serving GK does not call anything - Working GK goes around cone of choice

Pro 4 - Serving GK calls odd or even - Working GK must make decision of which cone fits

-- CAN PROGRESS TO CHALLENGE GKS TO MAKE POSITIVE DECISIONS
