The Step-over

Step 1 - As you are dribbling, pretend to the opposition as if you are going to kick the ball away

Step 2 - Instead of actually kicking the ball, swing your foot around the outside of (step over) the ball

Step 3- as your foot hits the ground, use the other foot to take the ball in the opposite direction - having sent the defender the wrong way!

Remember, practice makes perfect, no-one can do it at their first attempt! Good luck...

Attack Vs Defence

Split the group into two teams. One team should consist of the defenders and the defensive midfielders and the other team should consist of all the attacking players. One team should line up behind the goal one behind the other in a vertical line and the other team shold line up diagonally opposite the other team. again one behind each other down the pitch on the edge of the penalty area.The team behind the goal should start with the balls.

The team behind the goal starts so the first player steps forward with the ball and has to pass the ball to the first player in the oppositions team. You can pass the ball to the opposite team however you like so you might want to play the ball in the air to buy yourself some more time.

Once the ball has reached the opposite team the player who recieives it has to take on the opposition and try and score in the goal past the keeper, so the team who starts behind the goal and does the intial pass is the defending team and the opposition is the attacking team and their aim is to score as many goals as they can.

You must set a target as to how many attacks the attacking team gets which can either be a set number of turns each or you can set a time limit.

Once the number of turns or time limit is reached the teams swap roles and the defending team become the attacking team and the attacking team become the defending team.

The winners are the team who scores the most goals in the time limit set. You may wish to have a forfit for the losing team.

Have a go!!!!
