Exercises:
  • Exercise 1:
    • 1 vs 1 without a goalkeeper in the goal so that shots can continue to be made in quick succession, when everyone has shot the balls pass and keep changing defenders. Then build up to 2 vs 2 and so on to 3 vs 3.
  • Exercise 2:
    • Around the center line practice footwork with the ladders.
  • Exercise 3:
    • Second line -> occupy the 3 buildup positions offensively and teach the second line. Starting on the left side, causing it to start up and come in, eventually ending up at the right build-up. the Middle and right build-ups both move up one position to the left. The ball passes through the left build-up to the right build-up, which then plays to the middle build-up who will finish.
  • Occupy the 3 buildup positions offensively.
  • From the left buildup, the player shoots freely, that is, without a defender.
  • From the right buildup shoot over the thick mat, here a springboard can be used.

  • 3 defenders not passing but playing off when they are not coming
