Winter training is underway! This winter we’re staying sharp with continued small-sided games (SSGs), technical work (ball mastery, passing, touch), and fun competitive games that motivate the boys to play as fast as possible.
Each week we spend 5-10 minutes discussing a topic, and I’m focusing most of that discussion around the elements of soccer speed (linear sprint, anticipation, awareness, decision making, and first touch). We’ll also discuss confidence, as playing with confidence has a HUGE impact on performance, once the boys realize how much their hard work has prepared them.
Our winter training units are chosen to work with the indoor field size and are as follows:
This is our first foray into sharing session plans more broadly. There may be a slight delay in posting here; previously these plans were used only by coaches and I’m making small tweaks to how I reflect post-session.
