Warm Up - Sharks and Minnows - All players (the minnows)
except one (the shark) line up, with ball, on one side of a large square.
Go - the minnows must
Throws and Traps - Each player with a partner. First player
makes a GOOD throw-in, the second player makes a GOOD trap. Switch roles.
Speed passing - players in groups of 3. Players must pass
among their group as fast as possible. Players within a group must
stay at least 10 yds apart. Most passes in 60 sec. wins. Spread
further out and repeat. Look for good passes and good first touch.
var 1: 2 touch, var 2: 1 touch. var 3: 4 players per group.
Crosses, Timing and Post runs - line of cones near and parallel
to the touchline for runs to corner. One line about 30 yds out near
the touchline, each player with a ball. Player dribbles hard down the
line, cuts slightly in and crosses to teammate coming from line at other
touchline w/ players curling toward pk spot.
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.
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 (if time) Goal Kicks - 2 D in the box, 1 person
in goal, mids in receiving position, forwards upfield

Core Drill with wide sides - split players into 2 teams with 2
extra players. Create a narrow zone by each touchline. One of
the extra players roams each of the outside zones. Create rectangular
zones near midfield, one near each touchline. Play a regular game in
the main center zone except: 1. the outside zone players play for the offensive
team, 2. no other player can enter the outside zones, 3. the ball must be
played to one of the outside zones on each attack before a goal can be scored.
D scores by landing a pass to D teammate in the retangular zone.
Tips: Encourage teams to let the outside player carry the ball
and then attack from the wings.
var 1) give and go - when a pass goes to the outside player,
the passer must execute a give and go with the outside player
var 2) 3 touch - 3 different players from a team must touch the
ball before shooting
var 3) 1 defensive player can enter the outside zone only when
the ball is in there
var 4) 1 or 2 touch - all balls played in the main zone must be
1 or 2 touch.
