1 78 Soccer Cricket 79 Sideline Soccer To develop accuracy & power - striking the ball. Set out a 40 x 40 area, that will be the boundary of your cricket field. Split the group into two teams. Coach acts as the bowler and stays in a 5 x 5 yard box, 10 yards from the wickets (six cones next to each other). The bowler passes the ball towards the wickets. The batter must kick the ball and then run around the base back to the wickets. He must be ready to face the next delivery, which is delivered as soon as the ball is returned to the bowler. If the batter hits the ball out of the area without it bouncing they score six runs If the ball hits the floor then goes out of the boundary they score four runs. Runs around the base score only one run. To catch a batter out, the fielders must control the ball with a body 40 x 40 yds part before catching it or head it. Fielders then return the ball to the bowler by passing it with their feet only. A djust body - Get in line the ball; B asic technique - Strike through the ball using laces to improve power of strike. C leverness Look for spaces in the outfield to kick the ball away from the fielders. You can ask the fielders to strike the ball with accuracy back to the bowler. To develop 1v1 attacking skills against a defender and goalkeeper. Mark out two goals facing each other on a pitch approximately 30 x 30 yards. The group is split into two teams and each player on the team is given a number. The players are positioned on the sidelines facing each other. The players should spread out along the line. Two players should be used as designated goalkeepers and do not have a number. The coach stands in a position where he can feed balls in to the grid. The coach calls out a number. If the coach calls out the number 1, the numbers 1s from each team run into the middle to compete 1v1 and try to score on their designated goal. Progress the exercise by allowing the players to use their teammates on the side to play a wall pass x 30 yds 2 2 C Shoot on sight: Remember you don t have to beat the player, just create enough space for a shooting opportunity. ABC s of finishing: A djust body; B asic technique; C leverness. Positive: Run at the defender diagonally to create a shooting opportunity. PAGE 55

2 82 3v1 To Goal To develop quick penetration to exploit numerical overload. Def. Place 3 cones 25 yards from goal. Divide the players into 3 and position them on these cones except designated GK and defender. The ball is played in from the defender (who stands on a separate cone 15 yards out) to an attacker from about 10 yards away. The other two attackers join the attacker in possession to try and score. 3 versus 1. As players improve put a time limit on it to encourage quick play.

Players line-up at A and B and one player on each of the four flags. Crossers 50 x 30 yds Position two crossers out wide on the same side of the field. A player from line A plays a pass to the player on flag 1. The player on flag 1, then plays the pass out wide to the crosser.

Turn Once a player passes the ball they then follow their pass except for the player at flag 1, who goes to flag 2. The crosser stays as the crosser. This cycle goes from both sides. Therefore, at the same time group A players are going, the players from group B are going. Crosser The speed of the passes from player to player. It is very important in front of goal passes are clean and crisp. Work with the crosser on the different type of delivery played into the attacker. Low fast crosses into the front post or lofted high crosses into the far post. The attackers timing and angle of the runs is vital for them to get success in front of goal. Develop 2 or even 1 touch passes and finishing. Add a challenge - the players have to score a certain amount in a designated time limit. PAGE 60
