Technical Turning / receiving

Title: Technical Turning / receiving (15 minutes)

Aim: Put players in a setting where sprinting to get on the ball, turning to receive on your front foot and successfully connecting with a team mate is the player action needed for success. 

Activity / Organization: Players work in groups of three. Moving around the grid within the technical structure attached to each round. Players must release the pass before players are set waiting at the cone, discuss timing / weight off pass.  

Round 1: Inside of right foot, 2 - inside of left, 3 - outside of right, 4, outside of left. Four minutes each round. 

Notes: Discuss why we would do this before playing at South Campus.

Coaching script / plan for failure: 

- Players will fail to turn their body and receive on their front foot - discuss why doing this allows you to play forward, how no matter the weight or direction of pass your accountable for receiving with your front foot, move and turn quickly. 

- Players will fail to scan before they receive the pass - discuss training habits and reference mental note during the warm up 

1v0 to 3v2

Title: 1v0 to 3v2 - (20 minutes)

Aim: Put players in a setting where they're getting reps in the scoring phase. Mentally being ready to take care of the scoring opportunity, hitting the target with conviction, having composure, being effective in 1v1 situations are the behaviors needed for success. 

Activity / Organization: Attacking team in blue (5 minutes per round) play 1v0, must shoot before entering box, must be done at pace, player the joins to make it 2v1 and then 3v2. If players score from a cross from the crossing zone its worth five, red win the ball they go to goal, their goals are worth two. 

Plan for failure / Coaching script: 

Players will fail to land on their striking foot when performing the 1v0, their hips and shoulder wont face the goal and they wont hit the target - demo exactly what that looks like

Players service from the crossing zone will roll into the keeper - coach rotating your hips to face between the PK sport and the six yard box, getting off both feet and transferring your weight

9 will fall to control the contact during the first time finish - discuss pre training - change of pace before the cross, leaning forward, stepping into the finish with the inside of your foot, hips and shoulders facing the goal, landing on striking foot.
