The 'My Stuff' feature is amazing! It's a coach's best friend!

DESCRIPTION

Players line up behind goal line (blues)

Coach stands outside 18 yd with balls ready to serve

Players must complete some activity before they can move forward i.e. start on their knees, complete a push up, start in seated position, etc.*CONDITIONING ELEMENT*

Forward run should be a 3/4 sprint (game pace)

Coach plays ball in to player so they meet the ball at roughly halfway point (A). Player must adjust their body to play a (max) 2 touch pass back to the coach. Coach can serve ball as simple ground pass, throw it for header etc. 

Player will tell coach to "HOLD" the ball while they make a run around the coach. Player should call for ball to be released into the box for them to run on to and shoot (D). 

Variations:

Player dribbles ball around coach and finishes.

Coach plays ball back to next player in line who will play a pullback ball from goalline towards the attacking player for them to meet and shoot. 

Coach can serve the ball from behind the players in line so they must react when they see the ball moving in front of them. Player will chase ball and dribble it around the cone, inside and shoot. 

COACHING POINTS

High intensity of 3/4 sprints. 

Adjust body positioning to deal with the service - it will not always be predictable. 

Coach, play ball from different angles at different speeds and heights e.g. play the ball in from wide angles, have the ball bounce awkwardly etc. 

Player should accelerate after turning towards goal, as they would to lose a defender.
