9 To 13 Session 09 Striking The Ball

Striking The Ball - Session 09
Training Session Plan for 9-13 year olds
INTRODUCTION
Each week you will receive a training session plan designed for the age group you are coaching. All plans are consistent with
the FFA National Curriculum and are set out in the format “Skill Introduction, Skill Training, Skill Game”. Training sessions
should primarily focus on one core skill each week. Football NSW will provide plans that focus on either “first touch”, “running
with the ball”, “striking the ball”, or “1v1” in the Skill Acquisition Phase for kids aged 9-13.
“SKILL INTRODUCTION” “SKILL TRAINING” “SKILL GAME”

The warm-up and introduction to The part of the session where A game where as much as possible

6 orange players are positioned approximately 5m outside of the centre circle with a ball each and act as ‘goalkeepers’
6 yellow players are inside without a ball, in a smaller (7m-8m diameter) circle shaped by 6 cones
They receive a rolled ball off a ‘goalkeeper’ and with a controlled instep drive, shoot it back into the goalkeeper’s hands
After going back around the next cone they receive a ball from the next ‘goalkeeper’

Organisation: One group focuses on right foot shooting, the other on left foot. Change groups regularly.
#1 passes to #2 and runs to apply pressure; #2 moves the ball with the first touch to prepare for a shot from the edge 1. Introduction
of the penalty area.
#1 then joins the shooting line (behind #6); #2 fetches the ball and joins the serving line (behind #5). The same pattern
takes place in the left foot group simultaneously.
The angle/distance from #1 to #2 is manipulated by the coach to ensure #2 can shoot with the second touch without
being tackled and without having to beat #1.
STEP UP/STEP DOWN
Increase the angle and/or distance from #1 to #2 to give #2 more or less time (less or more chance of #1 applying real
pressure)
With younger players, the coach may move the cones closer towards the goals so the shots are from shorter distance
(ensure safety of players by not moving too close to the GK)

3 v 3 ‘shooting game’ in a grid of approximately 20m x 20m divided by a halfway line.
In each half there is a goalkeeper + 2 outfield players from one team and 1 outfield player from the other team (see
diagram), all players must stay in their own grid.
Make sure there are plenty of balls in/next to the goals.
The game starts with a 3 v 1 game in one grid. A team can only score by:
Shooting from their own half
A finish by the lone striker from a ball rebounding back from the goalkeeper; a defender or the post/bar
Rotate the players regularly.
