soccer drills for O6

Drafting:

• Field of 10m by 10m
• 1 or 2 magic trees (trainers) in the middle.
• 1 ball per player.
• Task 1: 
  • Players walk from one side of the magic forest to the other.
  • Without losing the ball.
• Task 2:
  • Players walk from one side of the magic forest to the other.
  • Without losing the ball. 
  • But watch out; the magic trees have woken up. 
  • And moving through the forest.
• Task 3:
  • Players walk from one side of the forest to the other.
  • Without losing the ball. 
  • But beware; the magic trees have woken up by a storm and are moving through the forest. 
  • But there are also branches and leaves everywhere.

In King Football, the players learn to pass well. 

• 2 teams
• Per team 1 King
• 1 ball per team. (variation 1 ball if a game is played)
• The teams move in the field in a square. 
• The intention is that the ball is played over 3 times within your own team and then shot to the King. 
• When the King takes it, there is a point for that team.
• First, they practise within the team and then they play against each other. 
• When the ball is taken away, it has to be counted again.

• Player 1 starts dribbling along 5 hats
• Then plays player 2 who waits by hat
• Player 2 bounces the ball back on player 1
• Player 1 finishes. 
• Player 2 fetches ball and joins the back of the line
• Player 1 runs to the pylon to bounce the ball back

• Dribble in large square
• Make small squares on the outside corners
• Name the small squares
• When calling the name, everyone must dribble to that square
• Eventually you can work with a knockout system, so that the last 2 get eliminated. 

2 teams

• The players have to play football 4 against 2 and must have replayed at least 3 times in the attack and a maximum of 10 times before scoring.
• When a ball is taken off/ touched/ crosses the line or a score is scored, there must be a switch between attacking and defending.  
• When there is no overplay, no scoring is allowed. 

• All players jog in over the field (square)
• Half the number of players has a ball
• players with ball pass the ball to a player without ball (eye contact).
• The players are not allowed to keep the ball with them for longer than 5 sec.

• At the moment the trainer whistles (signal), all players without a ball sprint as fast as possible to the closest player who has a ball and try to take it away.
• The player who has the ball should try to fence it off. (1:1 duel)
• When the trainer blows the whistle again we switch back to jogging and passing!

Nice variant is when you have an odd number of players, the player who can't find a direct opponent gets a command (for example sprint over the width of the field).

Exercise1 RUN STRAIGHT FORWARD

Set up your team in 2 lines (4-5 per line max) - only 1 ball needed.

IMPLEMENTATION:

• Players take the ball and then play it to the first person in the line opposite to them. Immediately after the pass they draw a sprint and close the back of the line they just played in. This is repeated over and over again.

QUALITY:

• Players are all on their toes ready for the pass.
• Passes are clear and accurate.
• Players must shout if they want the ball to play, and also shout the name to whom they are passing again.
• With the first ball contact they bring the ball under control, the second ball contact is the pass to the other player.

PROGRESS:

• Apply only one pass.
• Let one line pick up the ball and throw it back to the other line. They will then play the ball back with a volleypass and then simply join the other line.
• Let players take the ball with their thigh and bring it under control after which they pass the ball back over the ground.
• Place a pawn 5 meters on either side of the central point between the 2 lines. After the pass, the players have to walk around the pawn after which they connect in the row.

For this fun and interactive soccer warm up you let the players make a circle around you, about 15 meters away from you. So you are standing in the middle of the circle.

IMPLEMENTATION:

• The starting point of the players is their place in the circle, they stay "jogging" in place.
• Call: "Inside" and all players sprint towards you up to a meter or two away. Then they turn around and quickly sprint back to their spot where they keep moving.
• Call: "Outside" and all players sprint away from you until you call "Back", then everyone returns to the starting position in the circle.

QUALITY:

• Make sure players do not stand on their flat feet, but always on their toes.
• Players should sweat heavily after this exercise.

PREVENTION:

• You can apply different variations: sit-ups, push-ups, jump up, knees up by base position, sprint to the right or left while maintaining the circle shape.

Organization:

There will be 6 against 5 + goalkeeper.

If the party that has to score on the big goal has lost the ball, they have to defend 5 goals.

After 15 minutes of changing halves.

Remarks:

If the attackers of the triangle game lose the ball, it can very quickly result in a counter-goal.

Especially the players who don't play in the league games can't like this kind of game.

Points of attention:

Cover the man in time.

Do not go in recklessly.

Cover on the good side.

Posture during the duels, through the knees.
