Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Quick Decision Making & RWTB at Speed in Different Situations

RWTB #6 (10 mins)

Objective: We work on decision making when presented with different situations - whether to pass, dribble front on in a 1 v 1 duel with speed into space.

Description

Mark out a 20 yard square. We have 8 red attacking players (2 in each corner) and 3 white defenders inside.

The practice starts with 4 players (each with a ball) simultaneously from each corner. They must look up at the position of the defender so that they can make the right decision, before dribbling the ball to the next player at the corner:

1. Defender positioned toward the middle - the player plays a one-two with the defender, receives back and dribbles to the next corner

2. Defender front on - dribble forward and try to beat him in a 1 v 1 duel.

3. Defender close and to the side - dribble forward into the space at speed

The defenders change corners after each action.

Progressions

1. On the signal of the coach, all the players must change direction.

2. Change how they receive - move off cone before receiving a pass from a teammate.
