- Decisions - Ownership - Standards - Enjoyment - Technique - Attacking The Woodbury Way Play – To Goal -Split the players onto two teams -Play 3v3 to start and play no larger then 5v5 with a few subs if necessary. Make sure to adjust the field a little more space is better then too small -Have a pile of balls near each end line when you run out of balls go collect -Goals are scored passing thru cone goal KEYS Look for opportunities to shoot Can players shoot on the move?

- Decisions - Ownership - Standards - Enjoyment - Technique - Attacking The Woodbury Way Activity 1 – 3v2 (1) Play and move -Get players into groups of 4 or 5 -With the U11 it will probably work best in groups of 4 -If D win they ball the try to dribble out of space -Players with the ball try to keep the ball away from the D with the pass or dribble -Make sure space is generous enough even if it means you have to change D every now and then KEYS Use of space – how big can the three make it When can you dribble or pass Move after you play the ball MOVE, MOVE, MOVE even little adjustments count and are important

- Decisions - Ownership - Standards - Enjoyment - Technique - Attacking The Woodbury Way Activity 2 – 3v2 - Decisions -2 Teams - Keep score – One team starts behind blue cones the other behind the yellow -Not so good team has quick fun penalty -Ball gets passed to teammate then passer steps on to play 3v2 -Ball goes out of play new group plays -One team attacks one defends then switch roles -Play quickly KEYS Player off ball makes run Player on ball makes decision – shoot, pass or dribble? Does first touch go towards goal? Is it threatening goal? What is the relationship between the two attackers Too tight makes it easier to defend and speeds up play To far away and it give defender time to recover This must be at speed – slow down and lose the initiative

- Decisions - Ownership - Standards - Enjoyment - Technique - Attacking The Woodbury Way Activity 3 – Play -Split the players onto two teams -Play 3v3 to start and play no larger then 5v5 with a few subs if necessary. Make sure to adjust the field a little more space is better then too small -Have a pile of balls near each end line when you run out of balls go collect -One team could play to goal w/sweeper/GK KEYS Effort is number 1 priority. If effort is not sufficient pull player out and have them watch until the are ready to give effort Willingness to Defend and Attack Look for opportunities to shoot
