Competitive Fall

U9/U10 – Dribbling Ball StrikingSlide2

When you get there

Session will be

Warmup

game

(10-15minutes)

– Work

(30-40 minutes)

– Play

(10-15 minutes)

Coaches will have groups of 6 to start and then will get players added to their group

Focus on details!

What does it feel like, look like, what do your legs do, arms do, core, etc.

T

he more detailed and specific as you teach the better our players will develop

“I like how you used your laces and struck thru the center of the ball” is better then “Nice hit of the that ball”

Some groups you will need to provide the energy so be prepared with a few silly things mixed in but get back to business ASAPSlide3

Move of the Week

Focus is on the “Lunge”

This is one of the basic moves for our club.

There is no doubt there are more elaborate moves but the “Lunge” is a foundation move for our club.

KEYS

Dribble forward at a high speed

Step to one side of the ball lineOn this step it is critical that shoulders dip in the direction the player is lunging towards and that the player loads their legs to explode in the other direction

In the next step push the ball with the outside of the foot opposite the foot that just “lunged”

After the push away it is critical that the player get to max speed againSlide5

Warmup- Copycat Juggle v patner

Each player gets a partner to start playing against

Partner A does one juggle (

ie

. Top of foot) and catches it

Partner B needs to do the same and add one (ie

. Top of foot, head) and catch itThis goes on until one partner cannot complete the pattern

When this happens they each find anew partnerKEYS

Be creative and have funChallenge you and your partner

Discourage thighs with better playersSlide6

Activity 1 – One Man/Woman Wrecking Crew

Every player has a ball

One player has the ball in their hands the others have their ball on the ground

Player with ball in their hands is the “It” player

who is trying to knock the other player’s ball out of the space

Once a player has been knocked out the space have them show you the lunge 2-3 timesMake sure your space is big enough so there is space for players to attack

KEYSControl of ball

Mechanics of the Lunge – lung, shoulder dip, touch with outside of foot, etc.

Speed away after the move

Go

My ball got hit outSlide7

Activity 2 – Dribble/Shoot

Couple of lines balls with servers – blue passes to blue and yellow are the defenders

Players should be encourage to try the lunge with defenders running at them

Attackers get two points for scoring from the push pass zone

If defender wins the ball attack the counter goal and score ASAP – pass thru will be fine

KEYS

Pass ahead of player to attack it

Player receiving ball on the move with proper footWhere is last touch – must set-up shot

Sell defender you are going to one side attack the other

Toe poke/push pass zone

Drive the ball with laces zoneSlide8

Activity 3 – 1v1 to Big and Counters

Two teams one will attack big goal others will attack two counter goals

If defenders win the ball get them to shot early

Make sure to switch side of the servers and defenders accordingly

KEYS

Quality of pass to attacker – roll it in ahead of the player so the can attack it

First touch of attacker can it eliminate the D or does it need to be tight to set up a moveShot – do you see a space to hit the ball

Shot – surface choice

Shot – Plant foot, hip snap, follow thru

Toe poke/push pass zoneSlide9

Activity 4 – Play

Split the players onto two teams

Play 3v3 to start and play no larger then 5v5 with a few subs if necessary. Make sure to 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

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 AttackLook for opportunities to shootSlide10

Thanks

Have fun, be detailed, be demanding!Slide11
