Description

This is a One-hour game-based session plan. The session aims to set up opportunities for players to use dribbling skills to beat a defender. This individual focus session allows the player to be excited with the ball and try new things.

The session starts with an arrival activity, so the players can get going while waiting for other players and coaches to set up the session. The session includes:

• A physical literacy warm-up.

•1v1activity.

•A final game based on the session theme.

1v1s allows players to decide when, where, how, and why to use a dribbling skill.
