Sesión de Fútbol (Sesiones de Academia): u10 - Strength & Y Passing/Shooting Drill

Ball Mastery (5 mins)

Method:

• Ball each. Dribbling around the area. Using all parts of the foot (6 parts).
• Coach calls different tasks; toe taps, in between feet, turn, stop etc. 
• Give the actions a number. e.g. Toe taps = 1, in between feet = 2, drag back with studs = 3, Leave ball and run to outside of grid, come back and get a different ball = 4. Then call number instead

Coaching Points:

• Can the player use all parts of the boot to control ball. 
• Use studs to stop ball quickly on the call.
• Different types of turn - cruyf, drag back, step overs etc.
• Player must get their head up, so they don't bang into other players.

Fun Element:

• Call body parts, knee/head/bum/heel etc and player has to put that part of their body on the ball
• This works as good stretch/mobility exercise
