Sprints after reacting to movement of the opponent with changes of direction and shot on goal

  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
  • Training Set Main point
  • Number of Players 1 - 5 players, 6 - 9 players

Setup

There are two opposing slalom courses with cones. According to the graphic, two gates are built to the right and left of it. A goalkeeper goes into each goal. The balls are distributed on the goals. The players are distributed over the two cone courses and line up on the first cone in a row.

Procedure

The blue player is the active runner. The red player is only allowed to start when he starts. At the beginning, the blue player has to run through the cone course in slalom and try to get a lead over the red (passive) player. After the last cone he has to decide which goal he wants to go to. To do this, he can fool in different directions, but must be careful that red does not catch him. Now he has to get the pass passed by the goalkeeper in front of the red player. If he succeeds, he uses the allusion with a shot on goal. In this case, the red player ticks off and runs towards the second goal. There he uses the ball passed by the other goalkeeper with a shot on goal. Alternative: Player or group competition both players start at the command of the coach. After the players have completed the cone course, the coach announces the goal that will be scored first. The player who is first at the ball has the chance to score two points with a goal. The other player immediately runs to the other goal and can score another point with a goal.

Tip

- The players may make a body illusion and turn 45 degrees in the direction of the pass after the slalom run. - The aim is to train perception, anticipation, reaction and to promote quick, explosive, direction-changing attempts, paired with game-appropriate techniques (shot at goal). - As in the game, there are always changes in direction over shorter distances. - Pay attention to the sharpness and accuracy of the shot. - Palms are open, do not make fists. - Loose, easy manner, no trampling or pounding but light-footedness. - Fast, short movements. - Short contact with the ground. - The sprint is started in step position on the footpads. At the beginning, the upper body is bent far forward, the center of gravity is at waist level, the view goes down. After applying pressure on the footpads, the upper body is gradually raised, the gaze rises and the cadence increases. The arms are actively moved alternately with the leg movement (the right leg goes forward, the left arm goes forward and vice versa). After the first 3-4 steps on the footpads, the entire foot is rolled (heel-> sole-> footpad), the upper body is upright and calm, the step frequency increases to the maximum. - 8 cones
