Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): PDSA Winter Training 2015/16 | U12-U14 | Session 1 - 4/7

Stuck in the mud (10 mins)

The attackers are dribbling around in the 18 yard box. The defender is chasing the attackers and tries to touch the ball, with the feet, from one of an attackers. If the defender touches the ball the attacker pick up the ball and hold it above his head. The attacker will also spread his legs. The attacker got "stuck in the mud". The other attackers, who are not stuck in the mud can save their teammate by dribbling the ball through the opened legs. When this has happened the player who was stuck in the mud drops the ball and is dribbling around in the 18 yard box again.

.

The game is over after 60 seconds or when all the attackers are stuck in the mud

.

Coaching remarks attackers

- Dribble around inside the circle, keep the ball close so you can keep it away from the defender

- Do not get stuck in the corner, always try to dribble to open space

- When the defender attacks you, try to shield the ball and dribble away from the defender

- If you know a move, use this move to keep the ball away from the defender

.

Coaching remarks defender

- When you chase down an attacker, do not stop until you touch the ball from him

1v1 Madness (10 mins)

Attacker dribbles arround in the red box. There is one defender, who tries to steal the ball from his partner. The attacker can beat the defender or look for a pass to one of the 6 players on the outside (blue cones). After the pass they switch positions. The defender has to stay in the red box, so the attacker gets some space to dribble at the defender.

.

Coaching Remarks

- 1 steps of beating a defender ( dribble with speed, fake out, go around, seperate)

- Call names when passing so the player expects the ball

.

Coaching remarks:

Call for every ball
