Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): U11/U12 PDP - Positional Responsibilities Session I

Super Y (20 mins)

Create a "Y" diagram with 4 cones with the middle cone being ~ 10 yards away from the base cone and the Points being ~ 20 yards away from the middle cone. Have one player each on the point cones with a couple players at the middle and base cones. Start with all of the balls at the base cone and have the player play a ball to the middle cone. Next have the player recieve the ball, turn and then pass to the player on the left point of the Y. That player then receives the ball and dribbles it back to the line formed at the base cone. Repeat the process while going to the right side on this occasion and continue to alternate.

4v4 (multifield) (20 mins)

Split the players into teams of 4 and set up two fields so no kids are sitting out. The field should be approximately 30 yards long x 25 yards wide with one small goal or gates on each end line. Players compete in a 4v4 setting and score a point by passing or dribbling the ball through the goal/gate. Rotate the teams.
