Yesterday I received this message from a youth football coach: “…do you have anything to simulate pushing back hard after a mark/play on at all costs scenario with players ahead of the ball being able to read the play developing in front of them?…” The more I think about it the more loaded this question...
Players Required: 4/group Balls Required: 2 – 3/group Space Required: 5 x 5m Drill Level: Moderate/Hard Here it is… https://aussierulestraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Brain-Train.mp4 Not much more to add on from the video for this one but it’s best used as a warm up drill that will really get your players to focus with the multi-layered decision making required...
Players Required: 12/group Balls Required: 1/group Space Required: 10x10m Drill Level: Moderate Here it is… https://aussierulestraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/6-Level-Game.mp4 There’s not really much more to this game but it’s best used as a bridge from a specific small sided game drill to a game situation to see if the original small sided game provided the correct context, environment...
Players Required: 7/group Balls Required: 1/group Space Required: 10x10m Drill Level: Easy/Moderate Here it is… https://aussierulestraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/5v2-Rondo.mp4 This has the same basic set up as a traditional Rondo drill except that instead of just the defenders being in the middle of the area and the offense having to move the ball “around” them, there is now...
Players Required: 10/group Balls Required: 1/group Space Required: 10x10m Drill Level: Easy/Moderate You can get potentially 16 sessions out of the same basic drill here without even repeating it – here it is… https://aussierulestraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/4v42.mp4 The playing area for the 4v4 is 10x10m and you can go 2 ways with the scoring zone: 1 – Set...
Players Required: 5/group Balls Required: 1/group Space Required: 15x15m or so Drill Level: Easy/Moderate Here it is… https://aussierulestraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/3v2-Outside-Kick.mp4 We can very easily warm this drill up through a handball version over about a 7x7m square using the exact same drill but starting with a 3v1 before progressing to a 3v2, if the offense is handling...
Players Required: 6/group Balls Required: 1/group Space Required: 50 x 20m or so Drill Level: Easy/Moderate Here it is… https://aussierulestraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/6-Player-Scan-Kick.mp4 Not much more explaination required for this one – you simply keep kicking back to the original kicker until an option opens up for a pass that the PLAYER can make. Of course don’t tell...
Most small sided games provide too much of an advantage to the offensive team usually via an outnumber, where the defender doesn’t really stand a chance, like a 4v1 scenario rarely seen in an actual game. The implications of using too much of these scenario’s is that the defender doesn’t really give their all as...
Continuing on from yesterday’s 3 Player 2 Handball Drill, here’s a similar drill that could be layered on top or in with that one at the same time. Players Required: 3/group Balls Required: 1/group Space Required: You want 15 – 20m kicks so a an area slightly bigger then that but you could mix multiple...
So for almost 2 full weeks I organised all my training drills that I’ve compiled and made up, but that were simply written out in words and maybe the odd crappy diagram, drew them up on the trusty whiteboard and filmed them all. Harder than it looks I tell you! Anyway, I have ended up...
