Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Get In Get Out

Get In Get Out (20 mins)

Organization:

- 20x30 yard area.

- Entry gates (white) and exit gates (blue) positioned around perimeter.

- 2 attackers with 1 ball each.

- 6 defenders (2 inside with a ball each, 4 on outside with 2 balls among the four of them).

Instructions:

- Attackers gain 1 point each time they dribble through an exit gate. Attackers can only re-enter the field using entrance gate.

- Defenders on the inside gain 1 point if they can pass their ball and hit an attacker's ball.

- Outside defenders trying to block exit gates by having a ball at their feet and dribbling behind a blue exit gate.

- Switch out defenders/attackers after 90 seconds.

Coaching Points:

- Size, distance of touches (dribbling or running with the ball).

- Head up to identify space.

- Deception/creativity.
