New coach guide · Open this session in the builder to change it
Training plan: 2021s, Moving Well
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, Follow the Leader
- 25 by 25 grid, no ball. Pairs of a leader and a follower: the follower stays close and copies every move.
- The leader walks, hops, side-steps and stops. On the coach's call of Escape!, the leader sprints away.
- On Stop!, everyone freezes. Followers: could you touch your leader? Then swap roles and go again.
- Progress 1: Both players dribble a ball. The follower copies the leader's moves with the ball.
- Progress 2: Only the leader has a ball. On Escape!, the leader dribbles away and the follower chases with no ball.

25 to 40 Station 2, Beep Beep
- Pairs spread round the area, one ball on the ground between each pair. The coach calls.
- The coach calls a body part (knees, toes or shoulders) and both players touch it.
- On Ball!, both grab it. On Beep Beep!, hands up and shout it back: leave the ball alone.
- Progress 1: Win the ball with your feet instead of your hands: the first to put a sole on it gets it.
- Progress 2: Two body parts in a row, then Ball!: touch knees, then toes, then go for the ball.
