Every player on your team should be able to perform some sort of feinting movement to trick the other team when running with the ball.
Starting with some unopposed exercises we gradually increase the difficulty, building towards match-intensity dribbling and feinting. The drills in this session are an excellent starting point for teaching players of all ages how to feint and can be progressed for more experienced players by introducing them to the technique for the 0-Step.
The 0-Step explained:If the ball is caught in the air players are allowed to take three steps as the landing step does not count. For this reason the first step is called "0 step". Players should try to use this first step to their advantage to wrong-foot their opponent (see example below).
"It is not only useful for staff who are experienced but a valuable tool for those subject staff who have to take teams."
The variety of sessions across sports - sometimes we steal session ideas from one sport and use them with another.
As we enter the business end of the competition, we take a look at the remaining eight teams and the key talking points surrounding each side.
