Take attendance Large Group Demos -> Small Group Breakout –FIFA 11+ Warm-up (7 min) –Main Activities (35 min) –Shoot-Keep-Retrieve (10 min) Coaches will need to be ready to provide positive energy towards GK position as there are likely to be players timid about trying because of fear. Stay focused on positives and reward players making an effort (whether successful of not). Limit focus on negative outcome (giving up a goal.)
