Offense dribbling passing trapping shootingThe structure of the practice will be (approx.):
Ball
Handling Ball
Roll - with the bottom of the foot: front and back; side to side; in a
small circle Tick
Tock - pass the ball from the inside of the left foot to the inside of
the right Hat Dance
- lightly touch the ball with the bottom of the left foot, then hop to
touch the ball with the bottom of the right foot. Juggling
- bounce the ball off your knee as many times in a row as you can.
Square Dance - Everyone dribbles within one 15 yd. square.
Keep moving and use all parts of the foot. Try cut backs, pull backs,
and different fakes against imaginary opponents. Keep your head up
to not bump into teammates. Don't lose the ball.
1. Dribble to open space - try to stay spread out.
2. Move to open space - tap the ball into an open space, quickly follow
and continue dribbling.
3. Attack!: All players protect their ball while trying to kick others
outside of the square. If a player's ball is kicked out of the square they
leave the square and wait for the round to end.
Pass
drill - two lines, about 5 yards apart, each person has a partner.
Pass the ball to your partner's foot, back and forth, concentrating on
accuracy. After a few passes, take one step back. After a few
rounds, switch to throw-ins (bring ball behind head, keep both feet on
ground). Can rotate lines and switch back to passes. Continue
to about 15 yards.
Tour
the field - We will run to different parts of the field and learn what
they are for: center circle, kickoff spot, center line, penalty line/box,
penalty spot, goal box, goal line (goal kick), corner kick, touchline.
Relay
Race - three lines (or as many as are needed), each with one ball.
Four cones are in a line in front of each team. Penalty
Shots - three lines at penalty mark distance. Cones and targets
in the goal. Shoot and retrieve ball. Points: first look at
goal, then eye on ball, head down, contact ball with laces (lower on ball
to raise shot), follow through. Dribble
and Shoot - three lines. Dribble around cones and then shoot
from penalty mark area. Retrieve ball and go to a different line. Quick
Shot and Give and Go - two lines behind the 18 yd line. One coach
on one side of penalty area. (for Give and Go: Player first passes
to coach) Coach executes centering pass to one of the players and
player shoots directly from the pass (no dribbling). Both players
must move toward the goal. Retrieve ball and go to other line. Rotate
players to the coach position so they make the 1-touch pass. Corner
Kick - explain corner kick. Half the players are at each corner.
One coach at each end of the penalty box (closer to the players).
Go: each child should try to corner kick to the coach. After kicking:
1. follow the kick, 2. go to the end of the other line. If a child's
kick doesn't reach the penalty box (or goes far), coach should adjust position. Goal
Kick - explain goal kick. Half the players are at each side of
the goal box. One coach on each side, outside the penalty area and
towards the touchline. Go: each child should try to goal kick to
the coach. After kicking: 1. follow the kick, 2. go to the end of
the other line. If a child's kick doesn't clear the penalty box,
coach should adjust position. 15 min.
(or whatever works) 6 vs. 6 game (or scrimmage with another team)A trick to practice at home... Hold the ball with both hands. Lift your knee, drop the ball and bounce it off your knee, then catch the ball. Try to do that ten times in a row. If you can do that, then try to bounce it twice off of your knee!
Other home practice ideas:
pass
back and forth with your Father, Mother, or friend. Try to
shoot and hit a target like a cone or a tree. See how far away you can
be and still hit the target.
