Notes for a new coach / Refresher for existing coaches: 90 minute TST session (touch, footwork,intelligence)

Preparing for a 90 minute ' footwork and intelligence ' TST session
 
Make sure you are ready to start on time. So come with enough time to set up (for footwork). Please do not be still setting up after the start of the session
 
 
The session format is along these lines :
  • 1/3rd: Footwork* is based on a few fundamental footwork patterns [Link to a simple summary] (and this is how these patterns :[link 1 & link 2] might be done which are introduced, practiced and progressed to be fully game functional.
  • Foot speed is a key part of the footwork. So at some point intensity of foot speed has to be included (with a ball).
  • 1/3rd: Tech games* - this needs to bring the footwork to life by playing tech games which force players to use footwork intelligently when playing with a team-mate
  • 1/3rd: 3v3s: Players play - coaches create an energy through enthusiastic engagement within the games
*Tech games: You are free to do whatever you want in these sections as long as the following are developed :
  • Foot speed
  • Dexterity (weight and precision) of touch
  • Game functional Footwork (FFPs)
  • Intelligence (manipulation of time and space to improve the position of the ball)
