Create your own challenging session

Each month we will be posting a themed coaching challenge for all community members to get involved with. 

We provide the space, equipment and players but your challenge is to set the task.

The focus for April is to improve challenging.

You have… 

  • Space: You have a quarter of a full-size pitch (astroturf or grass).
  • Equipment: You have eight footballs, plenty of cones and two pop-up (samba) goals.
  • Players: You coach a U11 team with 12 players available (11 outfield players and one goalkeeper).

So, what activity will you set your players to develop challenging? 

Comment below with your ideas, check out other members' ideas and vote for your favourite.

  • I will set a session about ‘Build-up from Goal Kick’. 
    Two team, Team A has 5 players with goalie, and save a big goal with two cones. Team B has 6 players with two pop goals.
    Split the pitch into three areas, both of two teams have their own ending zone.

    Game always starts by the goalie set goal kick from their ending zone, and only 2 players of each team can enter into the opposing ending zone. Also only finish in the ending zone makes counting.

    Challenge:

    Collective: How could you build-up from your own half? Could you create numerical advantage? And how?

    Individual: What do you do when you face 1v1 duel, both of offensive and defensive?
