Description

Building on the Concept of Two-Touch Football. This session focusses on creating opportunities for players to do all 3 main Actions (Passing, Dribbling, & Shooting), while applying the Concept of Two-Touch Football (Control-Decision-Action), and tries to bring it closer to the game with some uncontested passing patterns.

Please do spend more time in the area, that you feel your players need it. Passing, Dribbling, or Shooting.

Dribbling Gates

Round 1 Players see how many Gates they can dribble through in 1min. They have to go to a different one every time, till they went through all. Can't go through a gate where there is another player already.

Round 2 You will have multiple pairs of Leaders and Followers - Leader will try to get as many gates as possible in 1min. Follower tries to keep up, when coaches calls 'switch', the Follower becomes the Leader, and the Leader becomes the Follower.

Advanced Difficulty: Add a few different coloured gates in-between(yellow's between the oranges), and if a player goes through those gates, they have to do a skill move.

Backfoot Ball Control

Step 3 Body Positioning and Backfoot Ball Control

Why do we want to use the Backfoot to control the ball?

If we position in the right way it allows us to see more of the field
If we control the ball with the backfoot, it allows us to be positive
It also allows us the most passing options

Positioning: Position body to see the ball and where you want to go (oppositions goal).

Backfoot: The foot furthest away from the ball when shaped correctly.

Passing around the square requires good positioning and effective backfoot ball control to be executed at optimal level.

Ball starts in one corner and just play the ball around to the next player.

Progression:

Go the other way
Use more than one ball

Advanced:

Make more than one square if you have the player numbers (you need minimum 5 players/square), and turn it into a race. The idea of this is to push for more intensity, but also getting players to recognize, to have success, quality will be even more crucial.

Two-Touch Football Pattern of Play with Shooting

Passing Pattern to bring the Two-Touch Football Concept closer to the game

The idea is to take the passing pattern that they should be somewhat familiar with by now and show how it fits into an attacking Pattern of Play, finishing in a goalscoring opportunity.

Part 1

Focusses on controlling the ball and then going into a dribble, then connect with the striker and support them to be an option, either the striker or the winger can shoot.

Explain the flow and just let them apply it, when you start seeing a decent flow do a coaching point. Then let it go again till that coaching point starts coming through again, before going on to the next coaching point etc.

Coaching Points - 1) Two-Touch Football 2) Backfoot Ball Control when receiving 3) Dribble with Close Control 4) Shoot for Accuracy with the Inside of the Instep

Part 2

Focusses on controlling the ball, connecting and then moving to stretch the play and becoming an Attacking option

Explain the flow and just let them apply it, when you start seeing a decent flow do a coaching point. Then let it flow again till that coaching point starts coming through again, before going on to the next coaching point etc.

Coaching Points 1) Two-Touch Football 2) Supporting Underneath 3) Backfoot Ball Control 4) Play Feet 5) Shoot for Accuracy with the Inside of the Instep

Minimum 5 players per pattern, Max 8, so setup multiple stations to help create more actions and learning opportunities. Use double Pugg nets next to each other to create a second goal, and let players rotate between shooting on the net and Puggs. Puggs can be without a GK.

See Animation for flow - Focus on one at a time when watching.
