Coaching Points
Channel Dribbling – Station #1
Setup fields of 15x10 Work through a few: Running with the ball with the laces, Outside of the foot push: Lunge, Inside cut across: Inside Cut, Scissors, Matthews, Stop and Go. Check for understanding
Use laces to dribble forward with short/small touches “SLOW and SMALL” to “BIG and FAST” Players should slow down to better control the ball with small/quick touches When a defender approaches players should use a move and take a fast/big touch to get past
2v1s – Station #2
Split players into teams of no more than 4. Attacking players start with the ball and attack 2v1. Must be across the halfway line/blue disc before you shoot If defending player wins the ball another defending player can join to make it 2v2
Pass or Dribble? Movement of player off the ball to create width/space off the ball Can you fake a pass to use the dribble or fake a dribble to use the pass Use a move to trick the defender Move to dribble then pass Move to pass then dribble
Play 3v3 across the End-line – Station #3
Setup fields of 20x15 – 25x20 3v3 To score players must dribble across the opposing endline on the dribble with possession of the ball If the ball goes out players must pass or dribble onto the field 1 Point for every move 3 Points for a goal scored
“SMALL, SLOW TO APPROACH” “BIG, FAST TO GET PAST” “GO ON” “GET PAST HIM/HER” “USE A FAKE” “TRY SOMETHING NEW” ONE player on the ball – give the player in possession space to dribble/pass
