Progression 3 - Control, Dribble & Pass

DESCRIPTION OF PRACTICE (TECHNIQUE / SKILL)

CONTROL, DRIBBLE & PASS --- 1 V1 (+1)

Players practice passing to a receiver. Receiver practices receiving in wide areas

Receiver practices control, dribbling and passing to keep & transfer possession

ORGANISATION

Players play in a 15 x 12 metre grid With two 5 metre end zones

1.Red player zone plays into central red player - wide red starts in centre and with good movement gets wide

2. Yellow marks red - passive at first - Active later

3.Zone Players change with Central players after 45-60 secs

4. Wide player receives, controls, dribbles and passes to yellow zone player

5. After 3 practices - now yellows

KEY OBSERVATION

Starting Position - Good movement to get from central position to wide

Body Shape - get a SIDE ON shape before receiving - face whole pitch

Control, 1/2 turn - Control side on - open body position - furthest standing foot

Using Inside / Outside of foot - Decision making - Use Outside of near foot?

Create Space - with first or later touches - set yourself for a dribble

Dribbling Technique - KEY FACTORS - Head Up - Assess defender's position - deception, change of direction, acceleration - Pass at the end

NOTES

Coach good counter movement to create space and time to get a good angle to receive

Show open body position - head up to assess defenders position

Can you control in as few touches as possible to create dribbling opportunity

Aware of defenders position - Control ball into space away from defender - accelerate

= Pass / = Run off the ball to receive
