Drills for U11s for footwork, defending and coming out
I've just started coaching an U11 team at a school. I've had a couple of practices with them and they've already improved. I've done a quite a lot of drills with them as they aren't used to the drills or skills needed. they were previously exposed to just a warm up and straight into play so I can see they need to work on their skills. they've played two matches and as they've done well and improved with drills I'd like to see them advance even further. Does anyone have any advice/drills on footwork, getting the shooter to lose the goal keeper, creating space and not asking for the ball behind another player. I've done a few drills but maybe there's a hidden gem I haven't thought of before! thanks in advance
I would teach them the washing machine drill. It allows the shooters to move around the goal circle, while their defenders follow them. It also allows the shooters, to not be in the same space at the same time.
