Station 1

Setup:

Layout 12ft. square with large cones then randomly fill the square with 20-25 smaller cones.


Divide players into equal size teams of 3 or 4 and have them set up on opposite sides of the square from each other.


Rules:

  • Players will be asked to simultaneously dribble through the field to the opposite side without running into cones or each other.
  • If players run into each other or cones, they will either accumulate penalty points or be asked to start over.
  • After all teams have gone, team with the quickest time or fewest penalty points wins.

Coaching points:

  • Keep the ball close, CONTROL!

  • A touch for every step.

  • Head up, spatial awareness.
  • Slow is smooth, smooth is fast!

Progressions:

  • Add additional/reposition cones.
  • Only use left foot, right, inside, outside, sole, etc.
  • Require the use of skill techniques (Pullbacks, L-turns, V-cuts, etc.)

Station 2

Set Up:

- 2 x 5 Yard Gates 12 yards apart.

- 2 players will share a grid

- 1 player will start the game by playing the ball to their opponent. The opponent will try to dribble through either gate as quick as possible

- If the defender wins the ball they can dribble through either gate to score

- Alternate Service


CP's:

- Take first touch where you want to go

- Score as fast as possible

- Quick clean cut if you need to change direction

- Utilize pull back, inside cut, outside cut, cruyff, double cut to get past defender

- Sell move with body faint

- Use body to protect ball


Reps:

- 90 second games

- Winner moves up, loser moves down


Guided Questions:

1) How do we create space when dribbling? Changing directions, making defender go opposite way

2) Are we more effective if we score quickly or do a bunch of cuts before we score? Score quickly

3) What are you looking for to know if you should cut or not? Defender trying to get in front. Defender leaning or off balance
