Brain Training Session 1

DESCRIPTION

Warm Up:

Two groups one on the outside, one inside. One ball for every 3 inside players. 

1. Inside players two touch passing between themselves while outside players get a light stretch. Rotate groups every 30seconds x 4.
2. Set pass from white to play out to red. When outside player receives they dribble in and rotate positions with that player and set an inside player to play out to outside player. 
3. Inside players must play 4 passes before playing out. Encourages players to communicate with each other by calling the number of passes. When inside player plays out they rotate quickly with receiver coming in.
4. Two touch / One touch all in. Players can play centrally but must rotate when they play out. Always on toes to receive.

Possession:

4 v 2 encourage right, left, centre options. Set shape, intensity, focus and responsibility.

Build-Up to Shoot:

Three players on the first three cones with a ball at the first cone.

When first player plays a pass they must sprint around the player to the next available cone ready to play the next pass. 

One touch in the build-up, angle off the cones, focus on movement and weight of pass and set to shoot on the final pass.

Work left then right. Alternate groups. Players build up in threes.
