Soccer: Step Over Turn Away

Great drills and practices thank you. Have used to great success for...
Steve, Clayesmore Prep School

DESCRIPTION

Step over with left foot; turn and take away the ball with right foot. Practice individually.

COACHING POINTS

Get players to turn away with the weaker foot to make the practice harder.

Players should time the step over and turn about 3m away from each other so that they have time to execute the skill before the opponent gets too close.

PROGRESSION

Work in pairs to practice timing for a 1 v 1 situation.

Step Over | 1 v 1 skills

Step Over:

This drill uses 3/4 cones to simulate a defender.

The attacker dribbles with the ball then steps over the ball, taking the ball either side of the cones. Get players to change the direction of their stepover every time.

1 v 1 skills
Smash and Grab | 1 v 1 skills

Smash and Grab:

Put a goalkeeper in each goal and play 1 v 1 in the middle. Play pair vs. pair for 3 minutes, then change.

The object of the game is to score in the opposing goal. The team in possession must attempt to attack the opposing goal as a pair using passing, dribbling and shooting skills to score. Hence, the goalkeeper of the team in possession comes out of the goal to support his partner, but cannot score. Repeat in the opposite direction.

Shake and Bake | 1 v 1 skills

Shake and Bake:

Set up as shown with a goal at each end. Play 3 v 3.

Each team elects a goal keeper. This player is allowed to use his hands when saving a shot. He must also go forward as an outfield player during attacks on the opposing goal. Rotate keepers every two minutes.

When a player gets the ball in the opposition's half, he should try to dribble past them. Award 3 points for fakes past the defender and 5 points for every goal. The first team to 21 wins.

Allow the players to pick scores for different skills.
