Variations
  • 1. Dribble to the centre with the right and cut with the right
    • dribble back with the left hand side and chop with the left hand side
  • 2. Dribble to the centre with right hand and cut with right hand.
    • Dribble back slowly
    • 2nd time with left to the middle and right to cut,
    • dribble back slowly,
    • so alternate every time.
Trainer can indicate how many times he wants the players to do a certain cut (in both variations) or he can make the players dribble at the same time (in the 2nd variation)

Types of cutting movements:
  1. Inside foot tap
  2. Outside foot tap
  3. Stop turn
  4. Cruijff turn

drawing Hooded Dribble
  • The game starts with number 6 kicking to goalkeeper
  • Goalkeeper then plays directly to 2 or 4
  • As soon as 2 or 4 are played, the green team starts pressing and tries to prevent the deep pass
  • The red team can "score" by making a deep pass to number 6, who is allowed to move all over the place in his zone.
  • The green team can score in the big goal
drawing Pressing and preventing the deep pass
Explanation:
  • The 2 slanting continuous lines are 2 mini goals
  • The dotted line is the 'middle line' to get the right of attack.
  • 4 to 8 players, in 2 teams or each player for himself
  • Team/player with most points after a certain time/ number of points wins
Aim of the game:
  • Blue plays the ball in to red
  • Red has to dribble over the centre line to score in 1 of the 2 goals
    • If he scores, he gets a point
    • If blue takes the ball away, he can also score and thus gets a point
  • When a point is scored or the ball is out both players join the other row and the next 1v1 starts.
Important:
  • This exercise is about making an action.
  • Therefore choose a certain move that the attackers can use to get past the defender
    • If the attacker does this and scores from it: 2 points.
  • The defender can never get more than 1 point when he scores.
  • The attacker only gets 2 points if he passes the defender with this move
    • if he already passed and then makes the move, he gets only 1 point
Variations:
Movements which can be trained are:
  • Single scissors
  • Double scissors
  • Step over
  • Zidane-turn
  • Elastico/akka
  • Reverse elastico/akka
  • Iniesta/La croqueta
  • Ball roll + Ronaldo chop
  • Drag 'n roll
Focus points:
  • Attacker's take: at least forward for speed in the attack
    • Preferably sideways so that he is already running towards one goal and also creates space near the other goal
  • Make sure that the defender applies pressure immediately after passing, so that the attacker has to react quickly
drawing 1v1, focus on action
Explanation:
  • Square is the playing field, marked out with pawns
  • Horizontal dotted lines represent mini-gallies
  • 2 teams of 3 to 4 players: set out several squares next to each other (also possible with 2 per team, but it is more fun with 2 or 4)
  • Set out 4 gates of pawns
  • Keep the playing field small so that you can act quickly.
Aim of the game:
  • Blue plays a tight ball to red
  • Red has to dribble through at least 2 gates and can score in 1 of the 2 goals.
  • The ball can be taken away so that blue can also score
  • When the ball is out both players join the back of the other row and the next 1v1 starts
Variations:
  • When blue takes the ball he must dribble through at least 1 gate to be allowed to score
    • same if ball is taken away again
  • Red must dribble through 3 or even all 4 gates
  • In 2 teams, the team that scores the most, wins.
    • Make sure teammates do not bump into each other
  • Everyone for himself
    • The one with the most points after a certain time or with a certain number of points wins
Focus points:
  • Good and tight 1st pass
  • Good take off from red:
    • forwards or sideways
    • But do not deadlock it because you need to act quickly
  • The man who passes the ball must apply pressure immediately so that this happens
  • The ball must always be in motion and may not lie still
drawing 1v1 with gates
Ball movement:
  • Player 1 plays the ball into player 2
  • Player 2 turns with his furthest foot and passes to player 3
  • Player 3 turns and makes action along the line, passes the ball
Running movement:
  • Player 1 runs outside to the 2nd pole
  • Player 2 slides in to support 1 and 4
  • Player 3 makes action along the flank and crosses the ball
  • Player 1 or 4 finish
Shifting: 1 - 4 - 3 -2 - 1
drawing Flank change
  • Place pawns as shown on the picture.
  • Two next to each other for speed
drawing Small pass exercise with 4
In this training form there are two variants
  • The team on the left plays against the team on the right.
  • Always swap sides so that players practice on both sides and with both legs.
  • The deepest player is played in and drops the ball to the 3rd man who finishes
  • The deepest player then gets directly into the ball and rebounds, after which the ball is played to the flank
  • The winger can take the ball inside once to enter half space and must hit the low cross
Addition in the form is a defender of the opposing team may also defend the low cross (2vs1).
drawing Practicing scoring
  1. Player A makes a running action to the pawn
  2. Player B plays the ball in and runs to the next pawn
  3. Player C makes a running action into the depth
  4. Player B gives the ball deep into the corner
  5. Player C (now on the backline) passes the ball to the pawn
  6. Player A runs to the first post & Player D runs to the second post and tries to finish.
The situation can be set up at both ends.
drawing Finishing with a cross
  • Two small goals against each other.
  • Two players stand at center spot and under goal.
  • Players on side dribble to square and pass to opposite player.
  • Players do this simultaneously.
  • Passed player (under goal and at centre spot) takes over and immediately tries to score on small goal.
  • Passed player immediately engages in a duel to defend.
  • Passed player goes to receiver. (Underneath the goal and on the centre spot)
  • Player who tried to score gets back in line.

drawing 1 against 1 on large pitch long pass
  • Players stand in pairs, opposite of each other. 1 on the line and 1 between a gate
  • Every 0,5m a new gate is set.
  • Players pass to each other in 1 time
    • P1 stops the ball after pass P2
    • When the pass is good (between the gates) P2 can go backwards.
  • Which duo is first at the back and back
drawing Pure pass
  • Emphasize the correct approach, placement of the supporting foot, kicking foot and body position
  • Every player places his own ball, thinks about what he can do better.
  • Balls are retrieved when everyone has kicked the ball
Variant exercise:
  • Put obstacles in the goal that must not or must not be kicked over.
