Focused initially on different ways to receive the ball when back peddling .. working that up into a goal scoring situation
Here it’s using the outside of your foot to go into the pitch for a finish ⚽️
8 years old btw 😮💨🤯
Coach Lorenzo working on using your body through unopposed drills before taking it into 1v2s where use of body & body feints become so important 👏🏻⚽️

Eden Hazard drill⚽️
How often are we told to open our body with our first touch when receiving…
Does this really prepare us for all game like scenarios 🤔
The best are those who can play out of pressure in ANY scenario…. Challenge your players!
Practice & coach it! 🙌🏻⚽️
Unopposed drills ..
You can do them at 50% effort, which may lead to 0 errors.
Or
Do it at max speed & effort. Make mistakes. Get sharper. Get quicker. Get better
The choice is yours ⚽️
Over 100 signs up😱‼️
Ultimately this means many will miss out as there are only so many players we can get onto the pitch at one time.. however this is something our sponsors, pitch partners & us are keen to replicate in the future 😬🙌🏻

1v1s were getting too easy for this lot .. so we ramped it up to 1v2s 🤪
There were plenty of failed attempts, but that’s part of the process!
Great to see players think quick under pressure, it’s where instinct & muscle memory kicks in that’ll they’ll use in games⚽️

Rain didn’t stop this lot tonight 👏🏻
Whole session focused soley on dropping the shoulder.
Kids love L turns, step overs etc..
but never forget the “basics” are a skill that needs broken down & coached as well
What makes it work 🤔
Why we do it
How we do it
Do it 😁
First Friday sessions went down a treat ⚽️
Some really talented kids! A huge bonus though as they all came willing to learn & play - which guarantees positive results 👏🏻⚽️
- Both attacker & defender have a ball
- Place 2 “end cones”, 4 yards to the left & 4 yards to the right
- Meet in the middle
- Aim of attacker is to dribble to cone half a yard before defender
- Aim of defender is to “mirror” the attacker whilst maintaining control of the ball

Thanks for your help tonight guys ❤️⚽️
Check them out if you haven’t already, amazing coaches creating an amazing environment for players of all ages & abilities
Before this.. try starting WITHOUT a ball. Why?
- Attackers will automatically feint to go one way before going the other
- Defenders will get into low body shape in order to get close to the attacker
The players suss the WHY out before you’ve even started 💡👌🏻
Try it out ⚽️👍🏻
Technical drills 👌🏻
These are small group sessions for players to do outwith their club. Therefore, large parts of the sessions are technical drills, focusing on improving YOU as an individual.
Massive congratulations to coach Liam on being named in the 28 man provisional squad ❤️ 🏴
Everyone within the academy has their fingers crossed he makes the final cut 🤞
