2 United Soccer Academy, Inc. 2 Mission Statement As the premier providers of soccer training on the East Coast we will deliver diverse soccer programs, which are both inspirational and educational. These programs are age and ability appropriate and are found on the principles of safety, learning and enjoyment. The underpinning principles of our programs: Philosophy Safety, learning and enjoyment; Maximum participation; Structured and progressive learning; Identify all potential partners and foster relationships between them; Develop positive attitudes. Three Pillars of USA, Inc. Programs USA, Inc. have identified three essential elements that are present in all of our own programs and coaching sessions that we call the Three Pillars of Soccer. It is recognized that all USA, Inc. programs contain the elements of safety, learning and enjoyment. It is your responsibility as a coach to ensure that these elements are at the forefront of your mind in all sessions. All are their own separate entity, yet encompass each other. The USA program identifies a player s age and ability level (from the age and curriculum breakdown model) which will in turn affect the extent to which an element is present at any time during a USA program. It is also recognized that safety, learning and enjoyment are interpreted different at each program level. We have placed an emphasis upon the individual importance of safety which has to be at the forefront of the coaches mind before learning and enjoyment can take place.

4 United Soccer Academy, Inc. 4 Activity 1 Activity 1: Soccer Superstars Each player dribbles freely within the defined area. On the coaches command, players are encouraged to practice various skills, tricks and moves to beat an opponent and/or change speed and direction. All skills must be related to those performed by the world s best soccer players such as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Andres Iniesta. The winner is the player that performs the most skills. Activity 2 Activity 2: Ghostbusters Inside the area 10 players have a ball while the two remaining players are the evil ghosts. The players must dribble their ball around the area they can move in any direction as long as they stay within the area trying to move away from the ghosts. The ghosts attempt to tag the dribbling players. Once a player has been tagged they freeze and stand with the sole of one foot controlling the top of the ball. See how many players the ghosts can freeze in 1 minute. The quickest time to tag all players, or the most tagged when the time runs out, wins. After each game nominate two new ghosts and restart with all players back in the game. Activity 3 Activity 3: Move into Position Each player dribbles freely within the defined area. On the coaches command, players dribble into the specified zone. The winner is the first player to enter the end zone with the ball under control. DRIBBLING Ball Control

5 United Soccer Academy, Inc. 5 Activity 4 Activity 4: King of the Ring The fighters begin by dribbling around inside the ring in any direction keeping their own ball under close control. They must try to knock another fighter s ball out of the ring. To be successful fighters must decide who to attack and use defensive skills to knock their ball out, while being aware that they might be attacked from a different angle. Once a fighter s ball has been knocked out they are out of the fight and must not touch another fighter s ball. Any fighter who has been knocked out should collect their ball and walk around the outside of the ring with it so you can clearly see who is in and who is out. When down to the final 2 or 3 fighters introduce a time limit to encourage them to win. If there is no winner before the time is up everyone can rejoin and start again. Activity 5 Activity 5: Tiger Tails Each tiger has a tail tucked into the back of their shorts. The tail must be visible so that other tigers can steal it. The tigers run around inside the area trying to steal each other s tails by pulling the tail out of another tiger s shorts. When a tiger steals a tail they add it to their own. If a tail drops on the floor any tiger can steal it. Tigers cannot grip their tail to stop it being stolen. They need to protect their tail by sprinting away, turning and screening. The game can be played to a time limit (e.g. 2 minutes). The winner is the tiger with the most tails at the end. Activity 6 Activity 6: Chain Gang Place a large cone or pole at one end of each channel. The players are divided into two teams and start at the opposite end. The first player dribbles a ball up the channel, around the cone, and back to their team mates. The starting player then links arms with the second player on their team and they dribble the ball up the channel, around the cone, and back to their team mates. Each time an extra player joins the chain gang until all the players are in the chain. The whole team must negotiate the course and the turn without breaking and keeping their ball under control. If at any time the chain breaks they must start again from the line without adding an extra link. DRIBBLING Ball Control

6 United Soccer Academy, Inc. 6 Activity 7 Activity 3: Cat & Mouse Players are divided into two teams, cats and mice, with the players on each team numbered 1-6 each starting at a cone. Start with 12 balls (pieces of cheese) in the middle. The coach calls out a number and the appropriate mouse runs to the centre and steals the cheese, one piece at a time, taking it back to their starting place on the circle. At the same time, the appropriate cat takes a piece of cheese, dribbles back to their starting cone and then all the way around the outside of the circle before returning the cheese to the middle. When the cat gets back the turn is over. The mouse counts their cheese and returns it to the middle before the coach calls the next number to repeat the game. After all 6 pairs have gone, count the total number of pieces of cheese stolen. Switch cats and mice. Activity 8 Activity 3: Zombie Attack Split the players into two teams. One team starts in the middle and one team goes to an end zone. The team in the middle is the zombies and in order to bite a player they have to keep their ball close and within touching distance when they tag a runner with their hand. The players without a ball have to go from end zone to end zone without being bitten by the zombies. Once a runner is bitten they turn into a zombie and get a ball from the side of the area. The winner is the last runner to get bitten. Activity 9 Activity 2: British Bulldog Attackers line up with a ball and aim to successfully dribble to the opposite end line without losing control and/or being tackled by the defender. When an attacker loses possession and the ball has been kicked out the defined area, they then become an additional defender in the next wave of attack. The winner is the last attacker with the ball under control at either end line. DRIBBLING Ball Control

They must try to knock another fighter s ball out of the ring. To be successful fighters must decide who to attack and use defensive skills to knock their ball out, while being aware that they might be attacked from a different angle. Once a fighter s ball has been knocked out they are out of the fight and must not touch another fighter s ball. Any fighter who has been knocked out should collect their ball and walk around the outside of the ring with it so you can clearly see who is in and who is out. When down to the final 2 or 3 fighters introduce a time limit to encourage them to win. If there is no winner before the time is up everyone can rejoin and start again. Activity 2 Activity 2: Ghostbusters Inside the area 10 players have a ball while the two remaining players are the evil ghosts. The players must dribble their ball around the area they can move in any direction as long as they stay within the area trying to move away from the ghosts. The ghosts attempt to tag the dribbling players. Once a player has been tagged they freeze and stand with the sole of one foot controlling the top of the ball. See how many players the ghosts can freeze in 1 minute. The quickest time to tag all players, or the most tagged when the time runs out, wins. After each game nominate two new ghosts and restart with all players back in the game. Activity 3 Activity 3: Pirates of the Caribbean As captain of the ship, begin by telling your crew of pirates the names for each of the sides: Bow (front), Stern (back), Port side (left), and Starboard side (right). This acts as an education and a memory test. The pirates dribble around on deck and when the captain calls out one of the four names the pirates must dribble to that end or side. The last pirate to reach the side called has a small forfeit to undertake (e.g star jumps). DRIBBLING Turns
