INTRODUCTION
WHICH ABILITIES ARE REQUIRED
TO PLAY SOCCER SUCCESSFULLY?
Soccer is the PRODUCT not the SUM
of all needed abilities
Technical abilities (skills with the ball)
Tactical knowledge ( experiences)
Tactical abilities (reading the game, mental abilities
in particular decision making)
Physical abilities (endurance; speed; power; agility)
Psychological abilities (i.e. risk taking; self-confidence)
Social abilities (i.e. team ability, sense of
responsibility; helpfulness )
The idea of
children............
.....shooting, children‘s exciting football highlight
all over the world
..... some friends, one ball, their own stadium: playing football

CONSTRUCTING APPROPRIATE EXERCISES
THE NEW DIDACTICAL
APPROACH
APPROPRIATE EXERCISES
CONSTRUCTED OUT OF
REAL GAME SITUATIONS
CONSTRUCTING APPROPRIATE EXERCISES
DRIBBLING
To select a game situation, in
which the technique of dribbling is
needed and often used for
attacking successfully.
Does the dribbling player need the other players
for learning to dribble with the ball?
First pressure:
1 vs. 1 on 1 goal
Two options: 2 vs. 1 on one goal
Restriction:: one pass only
Restriction
More pressure:
pressure: 2 vs. 2 on one goal
More options:
options: 2 vs. 1 + 1 vs. 1 on one goal
More pressure:
pressure: 3 vs. 3 on two goals
More complex = more options:
4 vs. 3 on two goals
More complex = more pressure :
4 vs. 4 on two goals
More pressure
pressure:: against majority
4 vs. 5 on two goals
More complex:
3 vs. 2 + 2 vs. 4 on two goals
Attack vs. Defense:
4 vs. 3 + 2 vs. 4 on goals
Attack vs. Defense: including wingers:
4 vs.4 + 2 vs. 4 on goals
Dribbling in the midfield
Dribbling on the wings
CONSTRUCTING APPROPRIATE EXERCISES
Key-points of appropriate exercises in general
• Small practicing groups
• Game related exercises
• Connected actions
• Opportunities for players‘ decision making
• Continuous organization
• Competition character
• Longer sequence of acting
CONCLUSION
Which aspects have to be considered for
constructing appropriate exercises ?
In which game situation does the movement (topic) to be
improved usually occur?
To which players‘ level has the game situation to be modified
for an efficient training?
Which kind of connecting actions usually happen in the game
before and after the execution of the topic to be improved?
Do the players have options within the exercise to discover
own solutions and to improve decision making ability?
Do the exercises offer options to the opponents to transit,
that means to behave like in a real game?
PREPARING EXERCISES
• WHAT HAS TO BE IMPROVED DUE TO THE
LAST GAME‘S ANALYSIS?
• We have observed problems of the strikers in
supporting the midfielders for finishing.
THE TOPIC TO BE IMPROVED:
„strikers‘ support to the midfielders“
Playing 2 vs. 2
Do we need the other players in this
situation for improving the set topic?
With relation to the topic to be improved
we have in particular to focus on the
behaviour of the supporting striker.
KEYPOINTS OF EXECUTION
called COACHING POINTS
Facing the ball carrier
Check off to loose the marker
Spacing the ball carrier‘s way to the goal
Quick runs
Support run when the ball can be played
Facing the goal when receiving the ball
(options of combinations f.e. wall pass,
overlap, cross run)
EXERCISE:
2 vs. 2 organisation
2 vs.
2

PREPARING EXERCISES
2 vs. 2
on one goal
1 big goal with a goalkeeper
2 counter goals, 3m wide, paralell to the
sidelines, 35m ahead of the goal and
opposite to another
5 attackers at the middle circle, 2
defenders vs. 1 attacker in front of the
penalty box.
1 midfielder try to finish together with his
striker in front of the box against 2
defenders
If defenders win the ball: countering by
passing the ball through the counter goals
and task changing with the attackers
Goalkeeper plays the ball to one of the
attackers at the circle
The attacker controls the ball and goes
for a goal supported by the striker in
front.
SUMMARIZING
Drills
- useful as individual special support given
if technical problems can not be solved and...
for precising known and used movements
Exercises
- constructed out of game situations
situations::
- going on discovery
- decision making
- transition
Coaching
- within freezed (stopped
stopped)) situations
o f f e r .....
SUMMARIZING
... easier transfer of practiced behavior into
game behavior
