Age Group: U10 (16 Players)
Duration: 1 Hour
KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. Nearest defender reacts, quickly and slow down on approach
2. Prevent player turning, get touch tight
3. Be Patient, stay on feet dont dive in
4. Pressure, bodyshape low knees bent
5. See the ball, always ensure ball can be seen
6. Force play backwards
WARM UP: 15 MINUTES
- Grid size 24m x 24m
- Bib 8 players before start of warm up
- Players start without a ball
- Players move freely around the grid
- Coach introduces activity (Heels, knees, skips, shuffles, headers, etc)
- Coach increases tempo from slow to fast
- Progress to ball per non bib and pair off with a bib player
- Players move freely again(non bibs dribble ball)
- On coaches command bibs close down their partner
- After a few swap over
- To increase tempo switch to on command play a pass to your partner and as ball is moving close it down, partner must turn back after receving ball and defender must try stop him turning
MAIN ACTIVITY: 20 MINUTES
- Grid size 15m x 12m with 5m end zones
- 3 reds pass ball between them in end zone as do yellows at their end
- On coaches command one of reds leaves zone to receive pass from one of remaining reds
- As soon as red moves into grid the nearest yellow player closes down
- Yellow tries to stop red player turning and try to keep them facing their own zone
CONDITIONED GAME: 25 MINUTES
Again corner kicks and throw ins are used to replicate a real match feel for the players. The coach again should focus on stopping players turning, encouraging good bodyshape ie low stance, bent knees and touch tight.
