⚽️ The Dribbling Zones Game | Mini Ballers P43

Engage your mini ballers with this exciting small-sided game designed to enhance dribbling and awareness! In this practice, the objective for the team in possession is to have one of their players dribble the ball from Zone 1 to Zone 2, and then from Zone 2 to Zone 3, to finish the attack. The same player or a different player can dribble between the zones. If possession is won in the middle third, players must recycle the ball and dribble through all three zones. If the ball is won in the final zone (the possession team's first zone), the player can finish immediately. This game not only sharpens dribbling skills but also improves players' spatial awareness and decision-making under pressure, making it a fun and essential addition to your training sessions! 💪⚽️

🔥 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! 💪⚽️

🎉 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! 💪⚽️

⚽️ Cone Goals Game | Mini Ballers P41

Get your mini ballers pumped with this fun small-sided game designed to sharpen finishing accuracy! In this game, the objective is for the team in possession to combine and create opportunities to score in any of the three goals. The central goal is worth 1 point, while the two side goals are worth 3 points each, as they are smaller and more challenging to hit. Coaches keep score, and the team with the most goals at the end of the set period wins the game. This engaging practice not only develops finishing skills but also keeps young players motivated and excited! 💪⚽️

🔥 The Mazy Run Game | 93-P6

Get ready for an exciting and dynamic small-sided game designed to boost your team's possession, ball control, and crossing to finish skills! To start, we have a 5 v 3 possession game where the attacking team aims to make a set number of passes before dribbling through one of the cone circuits. Once a player begins their dribble, two attackers make runs into the box to receive the delivery from the wide player and finish. If the defenders win possession, they combine and play through to a teammate in the attacking zone for a 1 v 1 finish against the GK. We can increase the challenge for the attackers by introducing recovering defenders to the game. This engaging setup ensures players develop essential skills while keeping the intensity and excitement high! 💪⚽️

🔥 Attacking Transitions at Speed | 09-P14

This 11 v 11 game is designed to develop fast transitions and improve clinical finishing in the final third. The back line of the first attacking team begins by advancing freely up the field while the midfielders and strikers of the defending team remain inactive. The objective is to connect with the attacking 6 players, who must combine and exploit the 6 v 4 overload to finish. If the defending team wins possession or the attack ends, the ball is played to the previously defending players, triggering a counter-attack in the opposite direction. Both teams aim to score within 8 seconds of receiving possession. This dynamic setup ensures players develop quick decision-making, teamwork, and finishing under pressure! 💪⚽️

Get ready for an exciting small-sided game designed to master the 2 v 1 overload!

If defenders win possession, they can break out and counterattack, with two defenders allowed in any zone at a time. Scoring defenders switch with any four attacking players for the next round. This game is perfect for developing quick decision-making, teamwork, and finishing skills! 🎉⚽️
