Warm-up

Divide the group in pairs and put each pair at a cone/hat, which you have divided on the centre circle:

  • Leave the ball, which is at every cone, on the ground and let the whole group run around the circle;
  • Make sure every pair is standing at a cone with the ball;
  • Player 1 dribbles the ball to the centre spot and puts it down there;
  • On the way back (without ball), Player 1 performs exercises (e.g. knee lifts);
  • At the moment Player 1 returns, Player 2 starts the same exercises (e.g. knee lifts) and then retrieves the ball;
  • Repeat and be creative with the exercises.

    • Level 2, 7 against 4.
    • Level 3, 7/6 against 5. (10 times around is next)
    • Level 4, 6 against 6.
  • Coach on finding the easy ball and trying to pass the ball into space. 
  • When a level doesn't work out, make the field bigger or go back a level. 
  • Try to coach your technique training positively when you see the action in positional play (e.g. turning open or handball).
  • BB is making the field big, BBT is making the field small.
