Fakes - why do we fake? (to create space) What are the 2 kinds
of fakes? (speed and direction)
Basic shielding - 2 lines (or as many as will work), one coach,
parent, or helper facing each line about 5 yds away. Coach passes the
ball to, then advances on, the first player in line who must then stay (mostly)
in place and shield/protect the ball for 5 sec. The amount of time should
be gradually increased. Key point: player should keep their body between
the ball and the defender.
var 1. After shielding for 5 sec, player must make a good pass to
a
teammate.
3-on-1 (2) pass and shoot, with GK - one line at the sideline
with a bunch of balls(throw-ins), two lines facing the goal(forwards),
one line to the side of the goal (GKs), and one line to the side, half-way
between the goal and the forwards (defense). The players are equally
distributed among the lines.
Go - the first child at the sideline does a throw-in to the closer forward.
They then start moving toward the goal dribbling the ball. Work the
ball, and then shoot (remember to choose, and try to hit, a target).
There will be 1 defensive player (from the defense line) who will try to
intercept the pass and kick it past the attacking players, and a Goal Keeper.
Each player shifts to the end of the next line.
(If time) Goal Kicks and Corner Kicks
Half-Court with Support - Use the penalty box for the field dimensions.
One goalie, 2 teams of 4 players, and one support player at the top of the
box.
Normal soccer rules apply except:
1. The support player can only move side to side at the top of the box providing
support to the team with possession.
2. A team, after winning possession, must make at least one pass to the support
player before attacking the goal.
3. Innacurate passes to the support player results in a restart by the support
player to the other team.
4. The keeper must throw or kick (goalkicks also) to the team which did not
have possession before he touched the ball.
5. The keeper cannot throw or kick to the support player.
6. Players can throw-in to the support player.
Tips: Encourage teams to attack from the wings and switch the point of attack
using the support player. For younger teams it usually works better if the
support player is a coach or one of the better players.
var 1) use different number of players in the game.
var 2) use more than one support player (perhaps assigned to a specific
team).
