line when you run out of balls go
collect

Activity 1 – Partner thru Gates

Partner players up
Players will pass to teammate and run
thru gate to get return pass on other side
Challenge players with using outside of
foot to make first pass and pass in front of
combining player so they can run onto it
Have partners keep score and play short
rounds
-
Keep it self referenced
Beat your own score by two, three, x
KEYS

Activity 2 – Cut Throat
-
Groups of 4 so you will need a couple of
fields
Players will play 1v1 on field with 2
neutrals that help attacker
Score by hitting cones
Player that scores stays; player scored
switches with one of the neutrals
Neutrals can move along the line
Play begins with scorer starting with ball
dribbling on from their end.
KEYS
 Attack with pace! Better to have gone too
fast and lose a loose ball then to approach
slowly
 Set D up to one side to attack the space in
behind on the other
 For better players remind them to take a
touch back across the D once they get them
on their back
20 yds.
10 yds.

Activity 3 – Play
-
Split the players onto two teams
Play 3v3 to start and play no larger
then 5v5 with a few subs if
necessary. Adjust the field a little
more space is better then too small
- Have a pile of balls near each end
line when you run out of balls go
collect
- One team could play to goal
w/sweeper/GK
- Can challenge team going to cone
goal by making them one bounce
the ball thru goal so it would be a
mini chip
KEYS
 Effort is number 1 priority if effort is
not sufficient pull player out and
have them watch until the are ready
to give effort
 Willingness to Defend and Attack
 Look for opportunities to shoot
35 yds.
