U4/5 Fall Soccer: Week 5

Focus: Attacking and defending


It could be cool on Tuesday so ensure that players are properly dressed and keep moving.

Focus: defending and attacking



Defending coaching points
Defender's stance:
Defender's feet should be about a shoulder width apart, legs should be slightly bent, stay on toes so you can react to any sudden changes of direction by the attacker.

Attacking:
-keep ball close
-attack with speed

Warm up 

15x15 grid
Half the players are given a pinnie to tuck into the back of their shorts as a tail. Coach shouts “Go!” players without a tail attempt to grab a tail from the players with one. Once players get a tail they must now avoid having it taken.  Get parents to play if you need more people.

You may want to start game without any balls and then transition into having the nonblobs dribblingin grid. You can break the blob whenever you feel necessary.


Shark Attack.
20 x 20 grid. Mark each corner with different colored cones. Players dribbling in grid, coaches or players tries to win ball from fish. Toe touches or storks if shark attack is successful. To give players an opportunity to work on their offensive skills, when coach yells a specific color players must dribble to that colored corner trying to get past sharks.
