6-week training plan

Rachel Barker

Does anyone have a 6 or 8-week training plan they'd be able to share please? I have two age groups but this would most likely be for a large u11 team. 

I know this is the focus of the next FA webinar in September, but I was hoping to get going in AugustGrinning

Specifically, I'm wondering if people tend to use their plan to work through say dribbling / passing / shooting / defending etc. OR if you base it around the 6 capabilities, scanning / timing / movement etc.

I'm guessing it doesn't matter too much as long as you're covering the important stuff (and we'll address their individual development needs through the course of the season), but it would be useful to have a starting point.

Thank you!

    I would recommend focusing on principles of play and topics e.g. playing out from the back as oppose to teaching skills in isolation. Using constraints to get out the behaviours you would like to see and then coach the capabilities from there. If you want to develop dribbling you could split the pitch into thirds and if a player dribbles over one of the lines before scoring it’s worth double etc. keeps the realism but incentivises desired actions. I would highly recommend Peter pricketts principles of play and Ben bartletts constraining football books. They also both share lots of ideas on ‘X’. Hope this is helpful in some way :)
