New coach guide · Open this session in the builder to change it
Training plan: 2019s, Shooting and Scoring
12 players · 2 coaches · cage · two groups of 6
0 to 10 3v3 as they arrive
- As they arrive: 1v1, then 2v2, then 3v3, on two small pitches with a goal at each end.
- A spare ball in from the side when one goes out. No throw-ins: dribble it in or pass it in.
10 to 25 Station 1, Volcano
- 20 m square with pop-up goals round the outside, facing in. The coach stands in the middle with all the balls: the volcano.
- The coach rolls balls out along the ground in any direction, keeping 3 or 4 loose at a time.
- Children chase a ball, control it and score in any goal, then bring the ball back to the coach.
- Team challenge: can everyone score before the pile of balls runs out?
- Progress 1: Add two lava monsters in bibs who win balls and give them to the coach. Swap them every minute.
- Progress 2: Goals only count first time, or with two touches at most.
For the 2019s: 1 monster.
Usually for 8 to 12 children, so adjust it to fit.

25 to 40 Station 2, Fruit Bowl
- 20 m square, a pop-up goal on each side, a shooting line 4 to 6 m out, and a pile of discs by each goal: the fruit.
- Pairs share a hoop outside the square: the bowl. Everyone dribbles a ball and shoots at any goal from outside its line.
- Score, then take one disc from that goal's pile to your bowl. Yellow discs (bananas) only count if you scored with your other foot.
- Play 2-minute rounds. Aim for one disc of every colour in your hoop.
- Progress 1: Orange discs (oranges) only count from a first-time shot.
- Progress 2: Add two defenders in bibs who try to win a ball. Swap them every minute.
For the 2019s: 6 m, bananas other foot only.
Usually for 8 to 12 children, so adjust it to fit.

40 to 60 Match, 6v6
- Two or three touches every time: at least two, no more than three.
- Theme rule: a goal from a rebound counts double.
- Rules to call on if you need them: everyone over halfway to score, the keeper rolls it out, ball below head height.
