Warm Up - Juggling - foot and knee juggling - around the world
Crosses, Timing and Post runs - 1. One line about 30 yds out near
the touchline, each player with a ball, coach at penalty spot. Player
dribbles hard down the line, cuts slightly in and crosses to coach.
Good cross - coach passes back to end of line, bad cross - player chases and
returns to line. 2. Add a line at other touchline w/ players curling
toward pk spot. 3. Add near post run line outside of curl line and far
post run line inside of curl line. Var - add trailing D chasing first
player w/ ball. Var 2 - also add D in the box and GK.
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) Corner Kicks - on D: GK at near post; D past near
6 yd corner, top of 6 yd box, and far post; Mids on kicker and at PK spot;
F past 18. on O: F: 1 kick, 1 near 6 yd, 1 mid 6 yd; Mids: 1 plays
short pass, 1 at PK; D: at least one past midfield.
and Goal Kicks - 2 D in the box, 1 person in goal, mids in
receiving position, forwards upfield
Half-Court with Support - Use the penalty box for the field dimensions.
One goalie, 2 teams 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) 3 zone - create 3 vertical zones - ball must be passed to each
of the other (two) zones before shooting
var 2) 3 touch - 3 different players from a team must touch the ball
before shooting
var 3) use different number of players in the game.
var 4) use more than one support player (perhaps assigned to a specific
team).
