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
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.
(optional) 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
Bread & Butter 4v4v4 - 1 small field (widthwise), 3 teams of
4 (teams A, B, and C) and 2 goalkeepers. Teams A & B play
4v4 with team C having 2 players on each end line (team C players play for
both teams and can only 1-touch the ball). If a team scores, the immediately
reverse direction and try to score on the other goal (the D team must quickly
leave the field and the helper team comes on to play D). Coaching points:
scoring team must reorganize quickly and try to score before the defending
team can get into position. Try to use the endline players.
Core Drill with 3 vertical zones - split players into 2 teams
with more players on offense, divide field into 3 vertical zones. Create
2 small 5x5 square zones near midfield, one near each touchline. Play
a regular game in the main center zone except 2-touch only in the center
zone (for both teams). Too many touches is a foul (IFK to the other
team). D scores by landing a pass to D teammate in the retangular zone.
Tips: Encourage teams to work the ball down the side and then
attack from the wings with a centering pass. Fast action in the middle
zone. Good passing. D needs strong clears. Var: change center
zone: 1. outside the 18 yd line, 2-touch, inside the 18 yd line, 1-touch
only (for both teams).
(optional) Scrimmage with other team (and/or World Cup with
other team)
Penalty Kicks (team A vs team B)
