Soccer Articles and NSCAA Convention

Been clipping a lot of articles and links over the past year and think if I get sometime I will start posting them soon...see what I can do. Then can recap what I saw down in Baltimore last week at the NSCAA Convention.

 

If you truly want to coach and grow or just be involved in soccer, you should join the association and go to one(though membership is not a requirement to attend the convention).

There were a couple nice articles in New York area papers about how soccer is making life better for people. Here are the links: In New York, a Soccer Team That Is Homeless but Not Defeated (New York Times 5/3/09) Shelter residents embrace a sense of purpose through the team, the newest in a nationwide league for the homeless. Yorktown soccer club helps special-needs kids (The Journal News 5/3/09) YORKTOWN - Special-needs children from Manhattan traveled to the town community center yesterday to get some pointers from the Yorktown Youth Soccer Club.

Be Sincere to Yourself and to others please!!!

Hi Everyone,Greetings from this end. I just want to register my disappointment. I was hoping that this will be a great social site for footballers, football lovers, would-be players and coaches. But its a pitty that some are already using it to try to fraud others.Someone in the name of Mary is try to do just that to me and maybe others, claiming to be the manager of Hilton hotel London.The earlier we eliminate these kind of people on the network, the better.Thanks

BREAKAWAY - CLOSING

A breakaway practice suggestion:Warm-up up with 2 or 3 man passing. Use the inside of the foot, instep and front foot to work on accuracy. The weight of the pass should be gradually increased to the point where accuracy is maintained.Set up cones, goal width apart. Put one player between the cones (*) to act as a quasi-active goalkeeper (no diving or angle cutting movements), while the other two players (A and B) take shots from 10-18 yards away from opposite sides of the goal mouth (see figure below). The shots should be low and a yard inside the target cone. I would recommend that the players make at least one dribble touch before shooting. Accuracy is key. Switch the players at intervals or the shooter could switch with the GK after each shot.
                   *  A .               GK                  B                     *
Move the GK out from the goal mouth 2-5 yards to cut down the shooters angle (see figure below). Still the GK should not make diving or angle cutting movements (we are still trying to reinforce positive results at this point). Increase the dribbling distance and speed of the shooter. Gradually have the goalkeeper close down the shooter. The shooter must shoot before the GK closes him down. The GK is still not totally active, other than making a foot save.
                   *  A .            GK                       B                     *
Move the team to real goals (if available). Start with a speed dribble and shot to an unattended goal (they must be within a yard of either post). Accuracy is still the focus. Decrease the speed of the player until they are accurate. Watch for over-kicking and over-striding.Add defensive presence (not pressure) from the side. The player must shoot with the foot opposite the defender. Change the presence to come from behind. Gradually add GK presence (no diving). The GKs can work on their timing of going out to the ball and getting their hands low (they can focus on their technique without worrying about stopping the shot). Increase the pressure from behind enough to make the shooter dribble at full speed. Increase the GK presence and pressure until everything is full speed. Remember to decrease the pressure if the shooter is not able to consistently get the shot off. If the defensive pressure is still too much, then go to timing the attacker (as in the MSL shootout). Make the shooter get the shot off within so many seconds.For an added shooting variation, send in a second attacker for cleanup of any GK deflections. This can be done with a 2v1 setup. Play the ball behind the defender with the attacker running on to start the breakaway.Of course the other breakaway weapon for an attacker is the chip over a GK that has come off his line too soon, or not far enough. In later practices, you can run the same progression as above, but work on the chipping technique. The GK will have to come off his line sooner in the progression. I would not work on this technique in the initial practice(s).Coaching thoughts on breakaways--the GK is most vulnerable on close-in shots when they are low and within 2 feet of either leg. It is often easier for a GK to save shots further away from his body in this situation. The attacker must be trained to recognize this fact. All too often, shots are missed wide because the attacker tries too hard to stay away from a GK that is cutting down the angle. GKs that are moving at the time of the shot are extremely vulnerable, as they are not able to react as well.Attackers often try to dribble too close, swing their kicking leg too hard on the shot or try to shoot at full speed and maximum leg stride. They must have tight dribble control of the ball by the 18, their stride length must be shorten and they should look for the earliest opportunity to shoot. If the first or second touch on the ball after they get inside the penalty area is not a shot, they probably have waited too long.Players must learn to play with both feet. Generally, the inside of the foot or front foot are more effective than the instep (big leg swings are often a prelim to instep shots). Toe balls may be very effective on breakaways as the toe ball produces the low hard shot we are looking for. Also, by the very nature of the breakaway, the ball may be too far in front of the body at the moment of truth for the use of any other part of the foot. However, I would never teach this to any player that frequently uses toe ball passing.--Thanks to: Gary Rue, KY HS and Select

FOUR CORNERS - DRIBBLING AND VISION

Have players form 4 lines each at one corner of a 30x30 or 40x40 square. The first player in each line has a ball. On the coach's signal the first player dribbles diagonally across the square to the other side. Ideally, players will meet somewhere in the middle of the square and if they don't keep their eyes up, they will run into each other. After passing the middle players continue on to the opposite corner where they give a short pass to the next player. Then all 4 of those players go. If run continually this can be a pretty good workout, because it goes pretty fast.Variations:1. Have players do a "move" somewhere in the middle.2. Have players change speed as they go across square.3. Have players use different parts of their foot or their weak foot.4. Have each group try to "pass" the person in front of them. (This messes up the timing of the meeting in the middle, but encourages speedier dribbling and accurate passes.5. Just for fun, have them try to dribble across with their eyes closed and teammates must direct them, or they can try to juggle their way across.From: Jane Shields U-12 Girls Hamilton Heights Youth Soccer (Indiana)
