Play 4 rounds of 1 min. with 30 sec. rest in between. Gates Passing- Set up several gates (at least 2 more than the amount of players). Group all players into pairs. 1 ball per group. To score one partner must pass a ball between the gate to the other partner. Keep track of points! Activity 2 Coach: Players count how many points they score in a minute. Repeat & ask players to improve score each round. Variation: 1)Require the pass be with a certain surface (laces, outside, inside). 2) Require the players to only use Left or Right foot. 3) Coach can move around & guard certain gates.
3v2 to 4 goals- Each team defends & attacks 2 goals. The team of 3 has a numbers advantage & should make correct decision to DRIBBLE, PASS, or SHOOT. If the team of 2 defends one of the goals, the team of 3 should quickly look to pass ball to attack the Activity 3 other goal. Play 4 rounds of 5 minutes each. Each round the teams should rotate who has 3 & who has 2. Play 10-15 min. 4v4 to Goal-Coach serves the ball in from the sideline. Each team has 3 players on the field, with 1 GK, playing 4v4. The game ends when a player scores on the GK. Extra players rotate in once the game ends. -Goal keepers goal is to make as many saves as possible and distribute. Activity 4 *DON'T ALLOW Players to tackle the Goalkeepers, this will encourage the goalkeepers to make good decisions with the ball. Coach the goalkeepers & field players to find space to build play from the back (instead of just punting and losing possession). Match

6 Coaching Points
Coach-What surface should the player use when dribbling the ball? Player-The laces. C-What part of the foot do you use to stop the ball? P-Inside, outside, and the bottom (easiest way to stop the ball). C-How do you choose which gate to go to next? P- The person who passed the ball should quickly locate & run to the next open gate & tell the other player where it is. The player receiving the ball should take their first touch towards the next open gate. 1-Attacking team should look to create height, width, & depth with their shape. 2-Players should use the combination skills from the BOX DRIBBLING & COMBINATION activity. 3-When the deepest players have the ball, the players without the ball should get in wide positions as this will cause the 2 defenders to choose between defending the dribble or the pass (they can't defend all 3 options!). 4-If one goal is being defended, the attacking players should immediately switch the point of attack to the other goal.
C-When is it a good time to try and score? P-Any time you see an open goal. C-Can GK's be an option for a pass? P-Yes, they can relieve pressure for the team in possession.
Go over restarts (kick-off, goal kicks, throw-ins). Be careful of coaching (speaking) too much. Try to only coach in natural stoppages (When the ball is out of bounce, after a goal, etc).
