Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Under 6 - 1hr Technical Session (Left Foot Step Over Combinations) (WK 30)

3v3 Back to Back Goals Game (15 mins)

Warm Up - 3v3 (2 Goals Back to Back in Middle)

Set up - The Above shows set up for a squad of 20 but easily adjust to your numbers

Player 1 passes the ball through the space between the goals with weighted punched pass to player 1 of the opposition team , when the ball lands at the players feet the game begins, three players enter the pitch and attempt to score in any of the goals. Game ends with a goal or ball goes out of play. This game is great for decision making , teamwork & space awareness , let the players decide if there dribbling, passing or making pitch big etc, when the game is complete ask your players about what they did good and what they can do better even at this young age they will have answers and learnt from the game.

Coaching Points - Lift head when dribbling (see ball and what's ahead), Controlled big touches to get to get away from opponents , small touches when approaching opposition, try and keep ball on safe side. Encourage , encourage , encourage, we want high tempo games .

Progression -  Add competition by keeping both teams scores throughout the game.
