Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Creating Space Sample Session

Warm Up (15 mins)

Organization

- All players in a 30 x 30 area

- All players have a ball

Activity

- Players begin by dribbling around the area completing any skills and touches they like as long as the ball stays on the ground.

- To progress the drill the players will now react to the coaches raise of a pinnie

- Each colour pinnie that the coach raises will represent a number that the group has to then get into

- e.g - Yellow = 5, green = 4

- Inbetween ask the players to work different ball manipulations

Progression

- The colours mean the same however once the players have got into groups of those sizes, they then must create a shape with that amount of sides. Keep this simple, restrict to 5/6 as the limit

Coaches Emphasis

Analytical (15 mins)

Organization

- Four 10 x 10 boxes

- 4 Players in each box

- 1 ball per box

- Four groups in four colour pinnies

- All 4 players numbered 1-4

Activity

- The ball is passed between the four players on the outside of the box

- The coach will call a number between 1-4, that player must move to the next box clockwise

- The players that move are attempting to win the ball back form the box they move to

- The remaining players attempt to keep the ball by moving around the area to create passing lanes for the player in possession

- First team to win the ball back gets the point

Progression

- The first team to get to 7 passes are now the winning team

- If the defender wins the ball or it goes out of the area the team must start again from 0
