Practice Plan Week #8
Interactive Lesson Plan Season:
Spring 2017
Age Group:
Stage
Activity Description 6 Surfaces-Each player has a ball, have the players dribble & use 6 different surfaces to move the ball in one fluid motion without stopping; EXAMPLE: Laces, Inside, Outside, Bottom/Sole, Toe, and Heel. After the players complete the 6th surface they should change direction Activity 1 & then restart the sequence with the ball on opposite foot. Once the players have shown proficiency have them do it faster, in smaller space, or change the surfaces or the order. 6 Surfaces: Laces, Inside, Outside, Bottom/Sole, Toe, and Heel.
Gate Problems- Divide players into pairs & set up gates (at least 1 more gate than groups). Groups score by passing through the gates. First pair to 10 points wins. Activity 2 Coach changes the way the pairs score each round: 1) Pass with certain surface 2) Complete 2 passes in 1 gate 3) Find a new partner every time you score a point
3v3 to Goal-Coach serves the ball in from the sideline. Each team has 3 players on the field, playing 3v3 (no goalies!). The game ends when a player dribbles the ball through the goal. Extra players rotate in once the game ends. If the ball goes out of Activity 4 bounds, the game is over & coach restarts with new players. Progression: players can now shoot or dribble through goal to score. Play 10-15 min. Play 3v3 or 4v4 for no more than 15 minutes.

Gate Passing with Pirates- Separate players into groups of 2, 1 ball per pair. Select 2-3 players to be the Pirates. The Pirates try to intercept/steal the ball from the passers. Passers score Activity 3 by completing a pass between the gates. If the Pirate steals the ball, he/she tries to dribble through a gate to get a point. The passers have to get the ball back from the Pirate. Play 3 rounds, rotating the Pirates.

Coach- What are the surfaces of the foot you can dribble with? Player-Laces, Inside, Outside, Bottom/Sole, Toe, and Heel. C- Why should you try to keep the ball close? P-So you can get more touches. C- When would the player with the ball pass to his partner? P- When his/her partner is in the position or moving into position on the opposite side of gate. C-Why would players want to face a little bit sideways when passing the ball? P-To use the outside of the foot closest to the gate.

C-When is it a good time to try and score? P-Any time you see an open goal. C-If you can't go to goal or forward what should you do? P-Pass the ball backwards or sideways so you can find a new way to score from a different angle.
Go over restarts (kickoff, goal-kicks, throw-ins). 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).
