Warmup (dribbling and passing)
How could you change the circle activity to focus on long passing? Short passing?
Passing in aTriangle
What did the coach do to increase pressure and speed of play? How did the coach communicate with the players during the competition (ie. time updates, focus on first touch and pass)
Passing with a partner
Describe each players ’first touch’. How does the coach create a competitive environment?
TIP - First focus on technique then try to increase the speed or pace.
Passing patterns
Why does the first player check away before he receives the ball? What is an overlap and wall pass?
Possession (3v1)
While they are ’shadow playing’ with no defender, list coaching points you could use in this activity (ie. "control the ball and face the field", "try not to be predictable where you will play the ball", "use simple feints before you play the ball").
How did the coach increase pressure from video 1 to video 2? Why did he start without pressure?
Where was the coach standing during the activity? Who controlled the balls, who returned the balls to coach?
Team Shape (Triangle)
Are the players in the middle adding width or length to the activity?
What types of patterns are the players using?
2v2 Attacking (create space)
What coaching point addressing ’first touch’ does the coach use to explain how to "move the defenders"? How was the coach able to recognize whether it is a 1v1 or 2v1.
