Warm-up: Creating and converting
Three-part session to encourage quick combination play and goalscoring opportunities.
WHY USE IT
This warm-up encourages players to combine quickly and create goalscoring opportunities, while staying on the ball when required.
It encourages dynamic movements and prepares players mentally and physically for the session ahead.
Set-up
Mark out an area relative to the age, ability and number of your players. Place a mini-goal in each corner and divide players into four teams (maximum) of two players. If needed, duplicate the practice.
HOW TO play
Pairs look to retain possession and create opportunities to score in any goal.
ADAPTATIONS & progressions
You can limit players to a certain number of touches or change the size and/or shape of the area to alter the challenge.
Teams can also be restricted to scoring in certain goals, or be challenged to score once in each goal to win.
COACHING POINTS
Encourage players to focus on being brave on the ball and shooting on sight due to defenders outnumbering attackers.
On the ball: Change direction; speed to create chances
Technical snap shots: Quick fire; power and instinct over precision for this game
Off the ball: Supporting runs – consider where, in relation to the goal.
1. Divide players into four teams of two-three players, with a small goal in each corner
2. All teams play against each other
3. Teams aim to score in any goal available
