Wow what a great website, I have found Sportplan an important tool...
Monique

DESCRIPTION

Objective: Technical practice focusing on movements, quality and speed of turns unopposed.

Detail:

  • Use same 20 x 20 grid as warm up taking out middle cone only.
  • Give each player a football.
  • All players should dribble around the area and perform specific turns (ie. drag back, inside / outside hook, matthew's, cruyff, etc).
  • Allow players to be creative and showcase their own turns.

COACHING POINTS

  • Keep the ball close taking small touches using all surfaces on foot.
  • Keep head up and scan area for danger.
  • Change of pace and direction when appropriate.
