Training Session

Control, running with the ball and passing
a) Ten passes

Four teams are formed and distributed over pitches of suitable dimensions. The objective is to make as many passes as possible. First the yellow team takes its turn and then the blue team. The passes are counted. Duration: approximately 1 minute each time.

b) Control of the ball

One ball per player: coordination exercises

Match 1
2 + 4 external players
A 2 v 2 game is set up (yellows against blues) with four additional neutral players (in white) at the sides of the pitch. The number of passes is counted. When a team regains possession of the ball, the count starts again from zero. Two pitches can be formed. A variation is to use two or three neutral players.

Exercise
Control, running with the ball and passing

Groups of at least three players are formed. Player A slaloms the ball through the cones using his/her feet and then passes with the inside of the right foot to player B. Player A then runs to take the place of player B. Player B goes through the slalom and passes with the inside of the left foot to player C and runs to take player C’s place, and so on.

Match 2
7 v 7 (with goalkeeper)

Two teams of seven face each other on a seven-a-side pitch (with goalkeeper and substitutes). Free play; coach-educator keeps a low profi le. Objective: lots of passes. Moves built up through the centre or on the wings; attacking and defensive aspects.

Some typical characteristics of the Under 10 player

Attention span lengthens and they start to show the ability to sequence thoughts and actions.
Players start to think ahead and think “If this, then that”
Players are more inclined towards wanting to play soccer rather than being told to play
Demonstrate increased self-responsibility
Players start to recognize fundamental tactical concepts
Begin to become aware of peer pressure.
Players affiliate with their team or their coach
There is a wide continuum of maturity evident on most teams.
U10 is still a crucial age for technical skill development.

1v1 50/50 to Goal Team Competition

Instructions

On the coach’s command, the first player from each team should sprint around the cone in front of their line. As the players approach the cone the coach should play a 50/50 ball in the middle of each cone. The two players should battle for possession and quickly attack the goal.

The players should battle each other for the ball and either player can score a goal once possession is won. As a goal is scored the team scoring the goal is awarded a point.

4vs3 Attack vs Defense

Instructions

Instruct the players to exploit their numerical advantage and finish with a shot on goal.

Attackers should move the ball looking for the open player and holes in the defense.
Defenders should attempt to break-down the attack and will gain experience in how to cover a one-down situation. Defensive players should complete a pass to the coach to end the attack.
