Activity Description
U13-U14 Diagram
Passing Pattern - "Short, Short, Long". Set up multiple diamonds to avoid players standing in lines. Set up 4 cones in a diamond, with players on each cone. Extra balls can be placed at top/bottom. -Pattern: Bottom of diamond passes ball to wide player, who plays a short ball Activity 1 back, bottom player then plays a direct ball into the feet of the top diamond. The patter restarts going the opposite direction. After 3-5 minutes, change the direction. IE if the bottom passes to the right, the passing should mostly be done with right foot/ if the bottom passes to the left, the passing should mostly be done with left foot.

2v2 with Targets Space can be 15x20, 20x20. Have 2 fields. Point is scored for going from 1 target to the other target.

Make them a Neutral and play 2v2 +2Neutrals with 2 Targets

3v3 to 6 Goals-Each team has 3 goals to defend & 3 goals to attack. Each goal is 3 yards wide(if game needs to be harder make goals smaller; if game needs to be easier make goals bigger). *Coach can add a Goalkeeper to try to defend all 3. Activity 3 Scoring: Score goal fro attacking half = 1point. Score goal from defensive half = 5 points. Play multiple rounds, 3-4 minutes each. Coaching points during breaks. 7 v 4 to Goal with 3 Counter Goals- 40(wide)x60(long) or half field. 7 Players (6 field players & 1 GK) attack 4 players & try to score on the 3 Target goals. If 4 defenders win ball, they can shoot on goalkeeper. Rotate players to each team in each round. Activity 4 Play 4 rounds of 5-7 minutes each *The purpose here is to get your team into the shape you want to attack with in the game. This gives you repetitions vs lessnumbered opponent. Match
Play 9v9 or 11v 7 or 11v11 for 15-20 minutes

Week:
8 Coaching Points
Passes should be accurate & on the ground. Players should never be standing. Before a player receives the ball he/she should check in the opposite direction (like dragging a defender away) then check to ball. Players should call each others names when passing or asking for the ball. Coach players in possession to use targets to keep possession. Players should constantly move and support each other to keep possession. Targets should move side to side, giving supporting angles. -Attempt to make the game 2v1, using passing and combinations. C-Who should shoot/When should you shoot? P-Any player or any time there is a clear path to a goal. C-What do you do if the goal you were attacking is well defended? P-Look up & find new goal to score on (there are 3!)
Encourage the team of 7 to keep possession & lure the team of 4 further away from the 3 targets. By luring the team of 4 away from their targets, team of 7 should look to play & make runs behind the 4 or go straight to Targets when lanes open up.
Go over restarts, and team shape. Be careful of coaching(speaking) too much. Try to only coach in natural stoppages(when the ball is out of bounds, after a goal, etc).
