2nd grade/std football~dribbling,passing,movement,goalies

Second Grade/Standard


General

  • Support team play
  • Have fun
  • Rule:  ball out of bounds – bring ball back into play using throw in (using the proper throw-in technique), corner kick, or goal kick depending on where and how the ball went out of bounds.
  • Start using goalies

Dribbling Skill Development

  • Review basic forward dribbling, pull turn and hook turns.
  • Be able to execute an Cruyff turn Using the inside of the right foot, gently kick the ball so that goes to the left but behind the left leg (instead of in front as in an inside hook).  Be able to do with both feet.
  • Be able to move at speed and change directions

Passing Skill Development

  • Passing while moving
  • Wall pass (same idea as give-and-go in basketball)
  • Overlap pass: when a player with the ball is facing a defender, another player on attacking team runs up past both the player with the ball and the defender and the player with the ball passes to him/her.
Movement and position play strategy

  • Don’t clump together
  • Review triangles
  • Spread out to create open unoccupied spaces
  • Move to these open spaces
  • Introduce “positions” Forward and defenders
Introduce some simple, more advanced rules (see attached).

One point to emphasize: if you’re not directly kicking the ball, you can’t kick at all.  This will help to prevent players from getting kicked and hurt in a “swarm”.


Goalies

  • Don’t stand on the goal line
  • Hand positions
  • M when catching a low ball – pinkies together
  • W otherwise – sides of thumbs together (not a bridge where just the tipsof the thumbs are touching).
  • Your comment will be modifiable for 10 minutes after posted.
