🎉 Improve Passing Weight and Accuracy | Mini Ballers P47

Engage your youth players with this exciting small-sided game designed to develop their passing weight and accuracy. We create two scoring zones (size adjusted for age group) and a 4 v 4 game in the central area. The objective is for the team in possession to create precise opportunities to pass the ball into the scoring zone. A goal is awarded if the ball stops within the zone. The game promotes teamwork, precision, and strategic passing, with the team scoring the most goals within the set time period emerging as the winner! 🎉⚽️

Get ready for an action-packed wave of play practice that develops players' finishing and defending skills in dynamic scenarios. Players will attack and defend in 1 v 1 scenarios looking to score goals to contribute to their teams overall score. The team with the most goals after all six attacks wins! We can progress this practice by introducing 2 v 2 or 3 v 3 attacks, changing the way players attack and defend the goal. This engaging practice not only sharpens attacking and defending skills but also emphasises quick transitions and intense competition.

⚽️ Turn and Attack! | Mini Ballers P45

This small-sided game is designed for our Mini Ballers to develop their close control and turning abilities. The fun begins as the team in possession aims to have one player dribble into the end zone and swiftly turn out, evading the pressure of a single defender allowed in the zone. Once the attacker escapes the end zone, their mission is to charge towards the opposite end and finish in the mini goal. Points are awarded for their efforts: 1 point for successfully exiting the end zone and 2 points for scoring a goal afterward. Keep your Mini Ballers engaged and improving with this dynamic, skill-building game! 🎉⚽️

⚽️ Improve Finishing - Function | 09-P9

This functional practice sharpens players' finishing skills from various attacking scenarios. It comprises three tactical solutions: 1. Creating space for the attacking midfielder to exploit and score. 2. Winger delivering crosses from out wide. 3. Midfielders combining for shots from outside the box. If defenders win the ball or attackers miss, the three defenders initiate a counterattack and aim to score past the goalkeeper. Let's incorporate additional tactical solutions to keep our players engaged and challenged, ensuring they navigate through diverse attacking scenarios seamlessly!🔥⚽️

🔥 High Press to Win Possession | 10-P11

Let's focus on your team's pressing game with this engaging medium-sided game! This practice develops attackers' ability to press high and win possession in the final third. The play starts with the goalkeeper, who initiates with a short goal kick. The attacking team must work cohesively to create pressing traps, as detailed in the practice video. When attackers win possession, they need to combine swiftly to score. If defenders successfully break the press, they aim to finish in either of the two mini goals. Play restarts with the goalkeeper and on the coach's call, ensuring continuous and intense practice. Get your team mastering high-pressure situations and quick transitions to goal! 💪⚽️

💪 Pressing as a Unit (433) | 10-P14

Ready to level up your team's defensive pressing? This 11 v 11 practice on a full pitch is designed to develop your players' ability to apply coordinated defensive pressure. To start, the coach initiates a 3 v 3 attack versus defence scenario. If the defenders win possession, they transition the ball into the middle zone for a 7 v 7 battle. In this phase, the defending fullbacks (Red 2 and 3) must press high, working with the team to regain possession. If they succeed, they counter quickly, with an extra player joining to create a 4 v 3 attacking overload in the final zone. Coaches have the flexibility to restart play in either the first or middle zone, introducing different scenarios for players to navigate. Get your team mastering high-pressure situations and rapid transitions with this comprehensive practice! 💪⚽️

🎉 End Zone Game | Mini Ballers P42

Ignite your mini ballers' passion with this small-sided game designed to sharpen their movement and finishing skills! We create two 5-yard end zones on either side of the area, with a central area for a 5 v 5 match. The goal is for the team in possession to combine passes and play through to runners who receive the ball in the end zones and finish unopposed in the mini goal. Defenders are restricted from entering the end zones when the attacker receives the ball but can retrieve it if the pass is misdirected or deflected. The team that scores the most goals within the set period wins. This dynamic practice enhances players' movement, passing accuracy, and finishing accuracy , ensuring they stay fully engaged and excited throughout the session! 💪⚽️

🎯 3 V 3 Accuracy Game | 92-P3

This engaging game is designed to enhance players' ability to maintain possession and finish with precision! We have a 3 v 3 setup in the central area, with the objective that every player must touch the ball before finishing in the goal between the cones. Goals only count if they stay below cone height and enter the goal, even if they hit the cones. To keep the game intense, the coach restarts play quickly whenever the ball leaves the circle or a goal is scored. This dynamic practice is perfect for sharpening passing, teamwork, and finishing skills! 🎉⚽️
