Passing, Games and Basic Team-Play Principles

Rating:

from 5 members ratings

In this Sportplan session we start by working on your players' passing ability, when standing and on the move, before progressing into a game where you can introduce your players to some of the important basic team-play principles.

To ensure passing practice is lively and fun we get your players working in small groups from the off, starting with a through the gates consistency exercise before building up towards some fun exciting conditioned games to get your players working hard and moving quickly.

After the skills practice comes the final game. To ensure everyone gets as much ball time as possible we get everyone playing small-sided matches, the only difference here though is that you're going to talk to your players before the game to introduce your players to the basic game principles. For instance: Don't all chase the ball, build up play from the back and always keep one defender staying back to prevent the opposition playing the long ball/ counter-attack!

You do not need to coach all the drills in this session, progress as you see fit when your players are ready. You might like to split this session and coach it over two separate trainings. Remember, try to let your team play as much as possible and only stop play for short discussions - keep your feedback to the point, they are here to play and keep it positive!

	Date: 07/02/2012 14:22 Rating: Comment: Confused as to the Numbers game and how it progressively builds on passing. Are you supposed to call more than one number for each team, like 3,5 from Red 4,1 from Blue? Most games that I have done like this have been calling one from each team, which would then be a 1v1 skills game. Seeking clarification.
