We will be working on the skills of:
Shooting and Pattern Play

**Passing/Receiving warm-up - Dutch square #1, 2
 3 25x25 grids, 5+ players per grid: need 2 players at A
 1 player at B,C,D, ball at A
        C   D
           
        B   A
#1. check, receive (need 2 at A)
 (square pass, move to next pos)
 - B checks away then rcv pass from A.  A moves to next position.
 - C checks away then rcv pass from B.  B moves to next position.
 continue
#2. check, receive, lay off (need 2 at A)
 (square pass, lay-off, square pass, move to next pos)
 - B checks away then rcv pass from A.  A follows pass moving
 slightly to middle.
 - B lays ball back to A.  A passes to C and moves to B position.
 B moves to C.
 - D checks away then rcv pass from C.  C follows pass moving
 slightly to middle.
 - D lays ball back to C.  C passes to A and moves to D position.
 D moves to A.  continue pattern
#3. check, receive, give and go (need 2 at A)
 (square pass, gng, continue)
 - B checks away then rcv pass from A.  A follows pass moving
 slightly to middle.
 - B give and go with A.  A moves to B position.  continue pattern.
Var: same pattern other way.  same pattern with ball starting from A
 and C at the same time.
Coaching points: check away before rcv. jog in place as ball is coming.
 lift foot to contact ball in center to trap. trap in direction of next pass.
 plant foot pointing toward pass. 2-touch. all passes solid (not too fast)
 and accurate (to correct foot of receiver)

**basic shooting
two groups working toward a goal.  shoot and move to next group.
w/ or w/out keepers. cone even w/ post representing D.  set up one
group on left shot, one on right.
1. cut out, shoot - dribble toward cone, cut out, shoot
2. lunge out, cut in, shoot - dribble toward cone...
3. dribble down flank, cut in, bend shot to far corner
4. cut out, low shot to corner (far post) - dribble toward cone...
alt: can add light D
coaching points: sharp cuts, accurate shots, sell the move

**combo shooting
1. turn & shoot - 1st person goes to cone, back to goal.  next in line
 passes, calls "turn", 1st player turns and shoots.  use turn move: ball
 across body, inside/outside foot, inside/outside fake, pull-back.
2. inside give & go, shoot - 1st player to cone, check away & back.  next
 in line passes to 1st, give & go to inside, then shot. (also do outside)
3. give, spin & go - 1st player to cone.  check away & back.  next in line
 passes to 1st and moves toward center.  1st passes back, spins away outside,
 then rcvs ball back and shoot.
4. creating space - fake & spin, shoot - 1st player to cone.  check to ball,
 then spin away outside around to in.  rcv pass from line and shoot

**4v4v4 - 3 teams of 4.  2 teams play 4v4 to pugg goals.  other team around
 outside of area, can be used for 1-2 or g&g passes.  play 2 min.  give 10 sec
 countdown.  At end of 2 min teams switch but ball is immediately live so
 team that reacts faster has advantage.  Score/rank for points. (team that scores
 the most goals gets extra point) OR 2 games of 4v4
alt: can changes teams if needed
coaching points: control the ball, accurate passes and traps keep possession,
 try to score on game transition, passing and control. shoot when you can see
 the goal clearly.
