GOAL KEEPERS All goal keepers are only allowed to play the ball to the team mate by rolling, throwing, or passing the ball. No Punting allowed. This is so the team can keep possession and play from the defense and work the ball up field. POSSESSION & TRANSITION All teams must try to keep possession of the ball playing a one-two touch game. Players will be encouraged to support and move, thus creating passing options. Once the possession game is consolidated the team must learn how to transfer the ball in the most efficient way from one area of the field to another. PHYSICAL SPEED & AGILITY These qualities will be evident in the game from the early ages. ENDURANCE Individual players and teams will train to be resilient to high-intensity action. STRENGTH & POWER Strong players develop their speed more quickly, prevent injuries and are more competitive in games. 2 P a g e

6 STRUCTURE OF A TRAINING SESSION SPACE TIME INTENSITY RULES NUMBER OF PLAYERS Keep the organization of the space simple. The initial set up, with small changes, should be maintained throughout the whole session. Resetting cones during a session can easily disturb the flow of training. Attention during the session should be Focused on making the coaching points. Time is flexible. Let the practice flow and make the coaching points at the right time, using breaks to give feedback to the group. Use short periods of time at high-intensity and utilize resting periods to explain the practices or make coaching points. Use different rules to adapt the practices to the characteristics of the players and make the exercises age-appropriate. Practice should progress from smaller to bigger groups of players. Use support players to create superiority in numbers and to make the exercises easier for the attackers. 5 P a g e

23 CONCLUSION The following booklet guide has been provided as a base for the coach to then go and implement. It must not be underestimated the role the coach will now play for each of players he or she works with. The most important person involved in a player s soccer life is the coach and I would hope that you follow this guide in structuring your sessions and in developing the key areas for the young players you will work with. I hope that you use the information provided and your own knowledge to help make this a positive experience for all the players and for yourself. 22 P a g e
