Session 1 – Coaching Confidence on The Ball

Main Theme – Creating Thinking Players -Tom Bates

15 x 15 Yards

(Age Depend

1 - Passing & Receiving 2 – Passing, Receiving & Moving

With 6 players in each grid ensure the two players in the centre receive

from the outside and play together to play out. They receive on an

angle and pass without touch limitation to play the outside men.

Key Coaching Points:

- The players create movements themselves (off on angles)

- Unlimited amount of touches

- Freedom of thinking

- Movement & Encouragement from outside men

2 – Passing, Receiving & Moving

Players progress by passing and following in with less touches. They

increase spatial awareness and creative thinking though the

unpredictable nature of two footballs in the session.

Key Coaching Points:

The session below was designed to increase game related freedom of

thinking with GK’s in the practice.

Format:

3 Central Blue Players

Four Green Defenders

Four Red Outlet Support Players

20 x 20 Yards in Measurement

Key Theme

Players attaint the ball from the server/coach from the side. The Three

central blue players remain the spine of the structure throughout. The

Green defenders try to tackle the blues in possession. Blues can play

red support/outlet players for support. If Greens intercept, they

become the outside support players and Reds must become

defenders.

Aim of session is to encourage trust in players to play in tight areas.

Encourage players to be confident on the ball. Speed of transition and

intensity of defenders/attacking play.
