Soccer: Table Fusball

Great drills and practices thank you. Have used to great success for...

Steve, Clayesmore Prep School

DESCRIPTION

Position players in pairs and singles in the zones as shown in the diagram. Players must stay in their respective areas. Goalkeepers can throw or kick the ball into any area.

The object of the game is for defenders (lone players) to pass to attackers(pairs) who attempt to shoot on goal. If a defensive player blocks the path to goal, the player in possession should pass the ball to a teammate in a better scoring position. Change positions after a period of time or after a goal is scored by either team.

Progressions:
1. Add players for groups of 2 and 3.
2. Add more balls for younger players.
3. Make it 2 touch for older players.

COACHING POINTS

Try to pass to a player you can see, maybe pass it sideways if a defender is blocking his goal.

Use the inside of your foot for shot passes in your area.

Try to pass the ball in front of a teammate so they can pass or shoot with their 1st touch.

Slalom Shoot:

Players run forward, receive the pass from behind and then dribble through the cones.

On reaching the final cone players take one touch to tee themselves up and then shoot.

Shooting

Where is Waldo:

Create a halfway line in the area using discs. Store soccer balls behind each goal. Play 4 v 1 in each half with a goalkeeper.

The goalkeeper serves the ball to any of his teammates in his half. They must get a shot on the goal in the opposite field. The lone player in that area is a defender trying to block the shot. The lone player in the opposite area is the cherry picker, following in on the goalkeeper for rebounds. Repeat in the opposite direction.

Progression: Take away the halfway line and progress to a full field game of 6 v 6.

Shooting

Strikers Space:

Play 3 v 2 in the larger area and play 1 v 1 with a goalkeeper in the smaller(attacking) area.

Red player 1 starts with the ball. The 3 red players in the larger area combine to pass the ball into the attacking area. The player who passes the ball into the area follows the ball into the attacking zone to make a 2 v 1 situation. Finish with a shot on goal. Rotate positions.
Progression: Play 6 v 5 in an open 30 x 50 yard field.

Turning out to shoot:

Receiving the ball and either turning out or in to have a shot at goal
