Shorter than usual session - just 75 mins.

  1. Dynamic Warm-up (5 mins) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNnDto7Cdio&t=75s

    • Jumping Jacks x 10
    • Seals x 10 (clap in front)
    • Balance - Stand on one leg with other held behind. Swap.
    • High Knees
    • Lunges
    • Side-shuffle
    • Soldier Kicks
    • Lean-in - 2 players lean in against each other while running from line towards coach.
    • Sprints

  2. Dribble and Shoot (10 mins). Setup 2 lines of 5 cones about 10 yards from goal. Players dribble the ball through the cones then pass to coach who passes it sideways. The player must run and shoot the ball (ideally into the goal). No goalie in goal. (This is the drill Owen and I observed another team practising last week).

  3. Mini-match drill - Using the Wingers (10 mins). (THis is the drill Brendan talked to Mike and I about on first training session). On a smaller than usual pitch place a cone 3 meters from each sideline at midfield. Players must use wingers to pass the ball through midfield. Ball can only be passed through midfield through the cones. Players cannot run with the ball through midfield except through the cones near sidelines. The idea is to encourage players to use the wingers.

  4. Heaven and Hell (10 mins)

  5. Match! (30 mins)
