Concentration, decision making and communication.
Warm-ups, games and circuits for any session.
The most widely used rehearsed corner in the modern game: driven inswinging delivery to the near post, a legal block on the zonal marker, a glancing flick-on and the far-post runners arriving to finish.
The six running exercises of the FIFA 11+ injury-prevention programme: straight ahead, hip out, hip in, circling partner, jumping with shoulder contact and quick forwards-and-backwards in a cone course.
Horst Wein's small-sided game that inspired the DFB and FIFA 3v3 formats: 3v3 without keepers on 25x25 yards, each team defending two 3-yard goals set apart on its end line and attacking the two opposite ones. Players learn to look up and switch the point of attack.
The most famous grassroots game: minnows dribble across the grid while two sharks without a ball try to kick their ball out. Lose your ball and you become a shark; the last minnow wins.
Classic form of the Dutch (KNVB) 4v4 method: in 25x20 m you score by dribbling the ball under control and stopping it anywhere on the opposition end line, which forces the defence to protect the full width of the pitch.
2v2 game in a 20x20 m square with mini goals where the defending pair learns the roles of first defender (pressure) and second defender (cover), and how to swap them with every pass.
Schalke 04 U19 session: the keeper claims two high balls in the six-yard box surrounded by six mannequins, breaks forward and rolls or throws to the mannequin whose colour the coach calls; the accuracy decides how many shots follow.
Seven balls spread around the edge of the D: the striker attacks with one after another and the keeper must come out, smother and get back to touch the goal line before the next attack.
FIFA progression for learning to dive high: from the centre of the goal, one or two cross steps, a two-footed push-off and a one-handed parry with a firm, open palm of a ball thrown into the top corner.
