Grand Junction Fire FC Recreation Session Planner
Grand Junction Fire FC Recreation Session Planner U10 Week 9 May 14-18 Theme: Creating Chances in the Attacking Third Aim: To improve the players shooting and finishing ability. To improve the teams creativeness and chance creation in and around the box
Warm up. Area 30x20 middle channel around 10x20. All players have a ball and are number 1-12 or similar. Players dribbling round or completing ball mastery tasks. Coach will shout two numbers (5 and 9) and those players will take a touch out of the channel and strike at goal. They go and get their ball, rest of group continue. Progress by: specifying which foot to shoot with, introduce a goalkeeper, specify an angle they must shoot from Coaching points: close control in the channel, good touch out of feet, striking ball with instep/laces
Technical: create 2/3 lines on the edge of the box. First line play a give and go, the player then arcs their run to receive a through ball, before finishing across goal. Second line plays a pass into the striker, who turns using their first touch and then finishes across goal. Rotate lines after a few minutes. Third line slalom through cones, before taking a touch out into space and shooting. Progress by: adding a goalkeeper, having the second line turn both inside and outside, add in a passive defender behind the striker. Coaching points: make sure they’re using both feet, encourage them to strike across goal, power or for placement?
Game scenario: area is around the box, same as exercise done in week 3. Split into 3 teams, two in the box, one acting as support/feeders on the edge of the box. There are a set amount of balls each team gets to score as many goals as possible. Players move around to find space, to receive from a player on the edge of the box, look to use quick combinations in and around the area, players on outside can be used as support players, but they cant leave their spot. Defenders aim to clear the ball from the box. Progress by: giving bonus points for goals scored after a combination, allow a support player in to the box on an overlap, if defenders win the ball they can score on goal for bonus points, cannot use support players on the outside Coaching points: all above points, passes played into runs, take early shot if option is on
Expanded game: area 40x30. Play 5v5/6v6 whatever numbers allow, with two neutral players in a central zone, and three defenders and two attackers at each end. To attack, the defenders pass in to the neutral players who then pass into the attackers. The neutral player who makes the pass into the attacker can join in with the attack to create a 3v3. All other players must stay in their zones. Rotate the neutral players so everyone has a go. Progress by: defender who played into neutral can also join attack creating an overload, or they overlap them and joins the attack in their place. Finish with free play. Coaching points: use all chance creation techniques above, 1-2’s, turn on first touch, dribble to shoot, overlaps, 3rd man run
