Give and Go Square - 4 players, each at the corner of
a 15x15 square. Go - Player A passes along the edge of the square to
either C or D, then immediately switches places diagonally with player B.
C or D then pass along the edge of the square to either A or B, then they
immediately switch places diagonally with each other. Start by walking
then speed up the game. Eventually, the pass will have to be made to
a spot before the recipient is even there.
Quick Shot and Give and Go - two lines behind the 18 yd line.
One coach on each side of penalty area. (for Give and Go: Player first
passes to coach) Coach executes centering pass and player shoots directly
from the pass (no dribbling). Retrieve ball and go to other line.
Up the side, Center pass, Shoot - two lines near midfield, cones
diagonally toward corner. From each line: 1st player goes to sideline
and does a throw-in to 2nd player. 2nd player dribbles up the side,
1st player breaks to center. When 2nd player clears the last cone, center
pass to 1st player, who shoots as quickly as possible. Retrieve ball
and go to end of other line. from the pass (no dribbling). Retrieve
ball and go to other line.

D by numbers - split the group in two, half on opposite sides
of a 10 yd square. Each side counts off, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. One
side has the ball.
Go - coach calls a number from each line. The person from the ball
side tries to dribble past the other player all the way to the other line.
The D player tries to steal the ball (or at least contain the attacker).
Both players return to their original side.
tips: 1) first no instruction.
2) offense, watch the defender's body. Dribble straight at the defender.
When they stab at the ball try to dribble behind them.
3) defense, watch the ball. Don't go for fakes. Try to stay
between the O and your goal. Be a pest.
Get There First - three lines near sideline, about 1/3 up the field.
Go - coach kicks ball towards the corner. Players 1 (offense)
and 2 (defense) race for the ball and try to "cut off" the other player. Player
3 (offense) breaks to the center without going off-sides. If Player
1 gets the ball, try to pass to center. If Player 2 gets the ball,
try to bring it up.

goal kick; corner kick
we will briefly cover the positions of Forward, Midfield, Defense, and
Goal Keeper.
Goal Keeping
Drill 1 - each child will stand opposite a partner, with one ball for each
pair of players. The first player will roll the ball to the second,
and that player will practice scooping the ball and bringing it into the
body. Then player 2 will roll the ball to player 1.
Drill 2 - same as drill one, except each player will be on their knees
and we will practice diving to save the ball using a pendulum roll. The
key is to roll on the side of the body on the rib cage, and not on the front
or the back. The arm closest to the ground should be extended so the
player doesn't land on the elbow.

Keep Away- 20x20 square with two teams of 3 inside (one
with pinnies). Play keep away for 3 minutes then sub in another team
of 3. Emphasize give and go, moving after the pass, communication.
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.
