Week 2 Session 3

Refer to Session Layout

‍

For each variation, ensure you are performing protective turns (as if the cone was a defender).

Follow the cone pattern (go from 1 to 2 to 3 etc).

‍

1. Inside turns. Using the inside of the foot turns, almost performing a full 360 degree turn on each cone to direct you to the next one. Remember to initially put your back to the cone when performing the turns to simulate protecting the ball.

‍

2. Outside turns. Using the outside of the foot turns, almost performing a full 360 degree turn on each cone to direct you to the next one.  Remember to initially put your back to the cone when performing the turns to simulate protecting the ball.

‍

3. Sole drag turns. Using the sole of the foot to turn, almost performing a full 180 degree turn on each cone to direct you to the next one. Remember to initially put your back to the cone when performing the turns to simulate protecting the ball.

‍

4. Roulette to a stepover. On the first cone perform a roulette turn to direct you towards cone 2 and at cone 2 a protective stepover turn and repeat this pattern.

Start at cone 2 and dribble towards cone 1. Once you have hit cone 1, turn with the ball and burst out towards cones 3 and 4. Ensure there is a change of pace. Run with the ball all the way to cone 4. Turn at cone 4 and slowly dribble to cone 3 (get some recovery in at this point). With disguise, turn at cone 3 and start dribbling towards cone 4. Before you get to cone 4, turn at pace and run with the ball towards cone 2. Turn at cone 2 and repeat the process.

Focus on practicing different turns and being creative. Also focus on the quality of your burst of pace and speed with running with the ball.

Refer to Session Layout

Start at cone 1. Dribble in and out of cones 1,2,3,4 as quickly as possible. Cut inside at cone 5 and shoot. Complete 2 sets from the left hand side and 2 sets from the right hand side.

Refer to Session Layout

Start at cone 1. Run with the ball at maximum intensity around cones 2,3,4,5 in a zig zag fashion. Once around cone 5, take a touch past cone 6 towards the byline and deliver a cross into the box.

Alternate each cross between whipping the cross in and crossing the ball hard and low.

Perform this drill on the side which your position is.

‍

Start at cone 1 (on the byline) and run to cone 2 (edge of the penalty area). Run there and back, each time slowly building the pace up.

‍

Run 1: 50%

Run 2: 60%

Run 3: 75%

Run 4: 90%

Run 5: 100%

Refer to Session Layout

Begin at the corner flag at the beginning of sideline 1. Sprint to the end of sideline 1. Jog at 60-75% around the rest of the outside of the pitch. When you reach the corner flag at the beginning of sideline 1, sprint again but this time continue to sprint through Byline 2. When you reach the start of sideline 3, jog the rest of the outside of the pitch. When you reach the corner flag at the beginning of sideline 1, sprint sides 1,2 and 3 and proceed to jog around byline 4 back to the start of sideline 1. Once you reach the corner flag at the beginning of sideline 1 again, sprint around all 4 sides of the pitch. When you reach the corner flag at the beginning of sideline 1 again,  repeat the process.
