Session 5: Ball Control On The Move

Session 5: Ball Control On The Move
Age Group: U10 (16 Players)
Duration: 1 Hour

*Note do not progress to unless happy with technique of players after session 4

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. Get into line of flight of ball
2. Decide on surface
3. Offer surface
4. Use surface to control ball for next move
5. Work off balls of feet to get into position for return pass(ie on toes at all times)

WARM UP: 15 MINUTES
- Grid size 20m x 10m
- 16 Players start without a ball
- Players work in pairs
- Players work down the outside of cones and back up the inside
- Players only perform the technique on way up not on the way back down(ie on outside)
- Leave space in between each player
- Coach demonstrates exercise for players to perform(Dynamic straetching, headers, side to side etc)
- Coach increases difficulty as warm up progresses
- Coach introuces a ball each, players perform activity(drag backs, stepovers, toe taps etc)

Ensure
-Slow to fast tempo
- Increase blood flow
- Good mechanics (work off balls of feet)

MAIN ACTIVITY: 20 MINUTES
- Grid size 12m x 12m
- 16 players, 4 per grid in pairs, ball between pair
- Two gates are placed in opposite sides of grid 1m wide
- Players work in pairs across grid
- Server passes ball through the gate to receiver who touches ball into space to return pass
- Progress by lifting gates and allowing players to move freely
- Key factors as at top of planner








CONDITIONED GAME: 25 MINUTES
The focus in the end of session game should be on ball control on the move. The coach should observe the game and use the key factors were possible to demonstrate where players could have controlled the ball on the move. Again don't stop the game for the sake of it, let the players play.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have put a different warm up into this session just to introduce somthing a little different for the players, again the key factors of the warm up are the same as the previous sessions, the layout being the only change.
This session should only be used by a coach who is satisfied that the players took in the key factors of Session 4: Ball Control and are executing the technique adequately.
