DESCRIPTION

Objective: Explore the specific football movements required in each position.

Detail:

  • Mark out 30 x 40 and split area into 4 quarters (15 x 20 each).
  • Split players into 4 groups of 4.
  • Each quarter will be a position specific practice.
  • Goalkeeper - 3 servers with balls and one player (GK) defending a goal. GK needs to make movements to & from poles, cones before receiving a shot from server (high intensity for 30 seconds).
  • Defender - 1 V 1 when spare player serves the ball. Defender needs to make sure that the reaction belt (or bib) isn't broken as the attacker receives the ball and when in possession when defending the goal.
  • Midfielder - Spread out different equipment. 3 servers with footballs & 1 player working. The working player needs to go through equipment (high intensity) and react to servers by passing/heading/volleying back to them. Ensure rest periods due to being physically demanding practice.
  • Attacker - 1 v 1 on a players call, both players need to run around the pole, through the ladders and be first to the ball to then attack and try and score.
  • The emphasis in all 4 practices are quality of movement first then high intensity & speed.
  • Make sure to add in appropriate rest periods for you age group / ability.
  • In each position specific practice ask players to relate to their role models / favourite professionals in that position to challenge and inspire them.
  • Everything done with a ball to make it football related.
