Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Under 6 - 1hr Technical Session (Step Overs Left Foot Only) ( WK 5)

Left Foot Step Overs (20 mins)

Step Overs 1v1 with shot at Goal (Left Foot Only)

Both lines to go at exactly the same time and work on same foot.

Players to dribble towards mannequin taking small pushing movements with the top of there Left Foot (Small Touches) as they reach the mannequin they step over ball with right foot, planting there right foot down on floor with all there weight on the foot & leaning slightly to right before exploding to the left, taking a (Big Touch) with outside of left foot past the mannequin, followed by a left foot shot into the goal. The player collects ball and joins back of that line.

Due to the age of the players it is likely that players will have to start by stopping the ball at the required distance and then learn the scissor by coach asking the player to follow his finger with his foot. Please allow equal time for both feet and not just concentrating on right only for eg. 

Progressions

1.Players to stop ball and execute Left Foot Step Over without the help of coaches finger.

2.Players to judge distance and execute Left Foot Scissors without stopping ball.

Coaching Points - Small pushed touches with top of foot, head lifted to see the picture, judge distance to execute skill, big touches to get away from there man, shot from roughly 2mtrs with top of foot following through in the direction you want ball to go. Look & coach the correct technique for the Step Over even if it slows down the player in question, we can always build speed after the correct technique is coached and learnt , bad technique is hard to coach out of a player.
