Organization: Area 12 x 20

Objective: Red team must look to maintain possession in a 3 v 1 as long as possible while the defender attempts to "Win the ball back" and pass to either teammate on the outside. If the defender kicks the ball out of play, red stay in possession. Attacker who causes loss of possession remains in the middle as the defender. Based on level select amount of passes to = 1 point.

Coaching Points: Dispersal- spread out and create space

Support- provide the right angle, right distance and correct timing.

Movement- Into a position off the shoulder of the defender so he/she cant see the ball and the attacker at the same time.

Organization: 12 x 20 Area divided in half so 12x10

Objective: Red team must look to maintain possession in a 3v1 as long as possible while the defender attempts to "Win the ball back" and pass to teammate in opposite half. If the defender kicks the ball out of play the red stay keep possession by a restart from the coach. Attacker who causes loss of possession remains in the middle as defender. Once the team in possession have completed 5 successful passes they are now allowed to transition as a group into the opposite box to play 3 v 2, once in this area the objective is to look to get in behind the 2 defenders and score by crossing the end line with a dribble or penetrating pass.

Coaching Notes:

1. Touch it, Move it...(the ball)

2. Move the ball, Move your feet

3. Open your body to see up and down the field...(sideways on)

4. Get it at your feet...(personal space)

5. Force the defender to make a decision...no decision, advantage defender

Organization: Set Up 1 or 2 nets depending on availability. 3 player combination play. All balls at the top of each working area.

Objective: 3 Player combination to finish

1. Pass into MF, MF plays back into server and then play into striker who turns to shoot on goal. Rotate to next position.

2. Pass to MF, play back to server, play pass into striker who lays off into MF's attacking run for a strike on goal. Rotate players to next position.

3. Pass into MF and pass back to server, server plays pass into target striker who lays a pass off for the MF who pealed off it's defender to support second ball. Server must look to make an attacking run to break the line in behind the target striker to receive a penetrating ball from MF.

Coaching Points: Shooting - Accuracy before power, eye on the ball, head steady, part of foot/part of ball.

Passing - quality pass, correct weight and pace on the ball. Communication and eye contact with message in the pass. Front foot or back foot?

Support - angle of support, reception body position, timing and angle of support, timing and movement off the ball in supporting attacking runs. Quality and game execution of runs. Must be high intensity.

Red plays to Blue. Blue receives and tries to beat red to score. If red wins the ball, they attack the other goal. Once done blues and reds switch to other side. Can run two sides at once.

Coaching Points

Receive on the move and dribble quickly away and into space

If defender catches you, beat him off dribble

Vision

Touches away from body to dribble faster

Keep ball on foot furthest from defender

Organization: Two teams of 6 including the GK's, plus 1 neutral player. Neutral player always plays for the team in possession. Playing field 60x40m. One goal at each end. all soccer balls in goals and off to the side with the coach.

Description:

1) The game begins when the GK rolls the ball out to one of his/her players. The team must then interpass in an effort to create scoring opportunities. The opposing team must try and win the ball so that they can also attack and score. Normal rules of soccer with the exception that the ball must be "kicked-in" for re-starts when the ball leaves the field of play. Any balls that go out of play behind the goals are restarted by the GK rolling the ball to on of her/his players. Emphasis should be made of the importance of players using the additional player advantage to create good supporting triangles around the ball.

2) Switch the neutral player every 5-10 minutes.

3) Progression: For the last 5-10 minutes, the neutral player can only receive the ball in the defending half of the field in possession.

Coaching Points: Accurate passes with good pace. Open your body to the play when receiving a pass.

Principles of play Attacking: Dispersal wide/deep (spread out) Support Angel, distance, time. Make sure you can be seen between players. (Center points, between lines) Penetrate through, around, over, shoot. Break lines with run, passes and dribble.
