Driving test 6th July 2013

Warm Up

“Driving Test”. Every player starts with a ball, dribbling around. There will be a number of cones, poles and goals set up in a big ‘arena’. When I shout “down the country lane” the players have to head for the nearest line of cones and weave in and out as if driving down a windy country lane. When I shout “down the motorway” they have to head for the big line of cones and run as fast as they can from one end to the other keeping the ball under control. When I shout “Fill up with petrol” they have to run to the nearest coach and pick up a coloured cone then carry it around. When I shout “park the car” they have to run to the nearest one of four goals and shoot the ball in then sit down next to the goal. Then they get up when we tell them, collect ball from goal and carry on. That’s the idea. It will probably be one of those ‘complete chaos’ games but that should make it fun J

 

Skills Session “Star Wars – The U6s Strike Back”.

Let’s get the Star Wars masks out again shall we? J  This time I’ll attach them to some short poles and we’ll set up a little dribbling and shooting session for groups of 4. No goalkeepers but instead they have to shoot the ball and try to hit Darth Vader or the Storm Trooper.

 

Matches

Only one skills session this week then straight into matches. Same groups of 4 as in the skills session. I will try to arrange teams before Saturday. I’m keeping track of who was with who each week so we mix it up and see who plays well with who.

 

Penalty Competition

After the matches, on the same pitch, each player gets to take 3 penalties. Top scorers from each pitch go through to the final which will take place in one goal with everyone watching.
