Fakes - why do we fake? (to create space) What are the 2 kinds of
fakes? (speed and direction)
Dribble, Fake and Shoot - two lines, coaches on D. Dribble
toward the penalty area, fake to get around coach and then shoot from penalty
mark area. Retrieve ball and go to a different line.
Crossing passes and post-up - one line on one side of the field
with the balls, two lines on the other. Player from line 1 dribbles
while first players sprint up the sideline and curl toward one of the posts
(one each). A single defender guards these two. When the first
player gets past the cone, execute a crossing pass to one of the two forwards.
Shoot when open. Variation: add a 2nd defender to close on the first
ball carrier.
2-on-1 pass and shoot, with GK - one line at the sideline with
a bunch of balls(throw-ins), one line 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 other 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.
3-on-1 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.
15 min. (or whatever works) 7 vs. 7 game, no goal keeper, 2 balls, knock
over cone to score (or scrimmage with another team)
