Mini Games Competitions Week (June 27th - July 3rd)
Objective: Players will have the freedom to enjoy competitive mini games, in an attempt to show, perform and execute the previous 3 weeks of learnings. Players will be given tips and encouragement on how to translate 1UP training topics into their club training sessions, and more importantly, their club matches!
1UP 1v1 Battle
Structure
1 net, 2 lines of players numbered 1-4 if needed
call out numbers and players race towards the ball, player first to get there is the attacker
if a defender wins it, they play a bounce pass off the coach and then roles are reversed
count scores, make it competitive
go through coaching points
Progression/Regression
manipulate the ball so each player takes turns defending
1UP 1v1 Cross The Line
Structure
one team will start with the ball and attack the defenders, trying to cross the line before they pass to the next line
defender tries to prevent the attacker from crossing the line
Progression/Regression
after 5 minutes of work time, a neutral comes in and plays with the attacking team to create an “underload” for the defender to try and defend
neutrals stay in for 2 minutes or 1 round
focus on blocking the pass and pushing the attacker to the outside
2v2/3v3 Schalke
Structure
normal 2v2/3v3 game
no more players than a 3v3
players are assigned to an opponent on the other team
if the opponent you are assigned to scores, you have to do a lap of the entire field before returning
first team to 3 goals wins
NO NEUTRALS, always play with even teams
