Futsal
Mastering the ball: futsal quick reactions
- The Boot Room
- 21 February 2020
Help your players improve their control and reactions under pressure with this 1v1 futsal session.
Organisation
Create a small court for two players to play in and use two mini goals with one ball.
How to play
The two players pass the ball to each other using the sole of their foot. Either player can attack at any moment that they receive a pass. Encourage the players to be creative by using elements of disguise and surprise if they decide to attack. When one player starts the attack, the defender aims to react positively to defend their goal and to win possession back.
Progression
To progress this session you can add a scoring zone if your players are shooting aimlessly - remember, the idea behind this session is that players can practise going past the defender and dominating the 1v1. For the defender, kicking the ball out is the last resort so challenge them to get better at taking it off their opponent.
