Warm Up - Agility Dribbling (10 Mins)
Ball Mastery (Pairs) Technical (10 Mins)
Technical Coaching Points
1. Awareness:
- Objective: Attackers should practice ball mastery and turns while being aware of the space around them and the positioning of defenders.
- Coaching Focus: Encourage players to keep their heads up as much as possible to make better decisions, enabling them to recognize when and where to move or pass based on the defender’s positioning.
2. Use Both Feet:
- Objective: Players must develop the ability to execute ball mastery and turns using both feet, ensuring balance and versatility.
- Coaching Focus: Reinforce proper technique for using both the dominant and non-dominant foot during drills, helping players become more unpredictable in 1v1 situations.
3. Decision-Making:
- Objective: When in possession, players should assess the game situation and make decisions on whether to pass or dribble based on the available space and pressure from defenders.
- Coaching Focus: Encourage players to make quick decisions by recognizing defender pressure and utilizing either a pass to a teammate or continuing to dribble if space permits.
4. Protecting the Ball:
- Objective: When under pressure, attackers should learn to shield the ball from defenders and use ball mastery techniques to escape tight spaces.
- Coaching Focus: Emphasize the importance of body positioning to shield the ball effectively and ball mastery skills (such as turns or quick dribbles) to maintain possession and evade defenders.
