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.
Heading
the ball - Coach will demonstrate the skill. Then boys will line
up and head back a ball tossed by a parent. Finally, try head juggling.
We
will not be using heading as a regular technique in games, however, it
is important to know the correct skill.
(optional:
Dribble and Shoot - three lines. Dribble around ones and then
shoot from penalty mark area. Retrieve ball and go to a different
line.)
Defensive principles: When the other team has the ball, everyone on our team is playing defense! You should know where the other team's players are. If a player in your area has the ball, 1) get in the way, 2) be a pest, and 3) try to take the ball away (but without letting them get past you). Attack the ball! No slide tackles! They are dangerous (to the other player, to you, and they don't work).
One
on One four lines total, 2 across from each other. 2 lines are
offense, 2 are defense. Each child in the defender lines has a ball.
Go - the defender passes to the offense. Then the offence tries
to dribble past the defense. When O has dribbled to the D cone the
playes go to the end of the other line.
tips: 1) first no instruction.
2) offense, watch the defender's body. Dribble straight at the
defender. When they stab at the ball try to dribble behind them.
3) defense, watch the ball. Don't go for fakes. Try to
stay between the O and your goal. Be a pest.
Rules - what not
to do; free kicks; off sides; touchlines; out of bounds; throw-ins; goal
kick; corner kick
Keep Away - Two teams
of 3 in a 5 yd square. One team does a throw in and dribbles and passes
to keep possession of the ball while the other team tries to steal. If
stolen, try to keep-away. If the ball goes out of bounds, throw-in and
continue.
2-on-1 pass and target
shoot, no GK - two lines, with a bunch of balls by one of the lines.
Go - the first child in each line starts moving toward the goal, one
dribbling the ball. Three passes, and then shoot and try to hit the
cone that is set up in the goal.. This time there will be 1 defensive
player (or the coach) who will try to intercept the pass and kick it past
the attacking players. Both players go to the end of the opposite
line.
15
min. (or whatever works) 7 vs. 7 game, 2 goal keepers, 2 balls! (or scrimmage
with another team)
