ideas for drills / content for zoom practices with U10 girls

Hey Juan! I have shared our session plans from 3 very fun Zoom practices in the other thread about practice ideas. I think they are relevant for all but we did them with our U11 Girls group and they seemed into it :)

Let me know if you try any of our ideas or have any of your own you'd like to share since we have a similar age group!

great - thank you!!

@marinfcgirls2011 thank you!

@mairenlenehan I told them to try and get cones but most of them don't have those at home, so a pair of shoes works great :). One girl used apples too...I use my phone as a stopwatch. I only write down their records for the juggling section - that way we can see their progress over time.

@Juan Gali totally get the hard to visualize. I don't have a video right now, but can see about recording one. most of the terms can be googled like "soccer triangle dribble" got me this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0P_8bx3jXc

hi - this is great and thank you. Do you by chance have a video or something we can watch? some of those drills are hard to visualize with the name only.

Thanks again!

this is awesome. Thank you!

What do you tell the girls to have with them? 2 cones?

What do you have with you as you coach? stop watch? do you write anything down?

Hi Juan. This is an example of a zoom practice that our coach takes our U9 girls through. They probably don't get through all of this, but this is the "ideal":

10-13 players

30-45 minutes

3-5 minutes - check in, meet & greet, set up, free juggle

15-20 minutes - technical work, ball "gymnastics", Coerver, moves,

etc....30-45 seconds on/15 seconds rest......

Boxing touches

Boxing w/ quarter turns outside of foot

Sole flicks across the body (like inside roll flicks)

Drags

Drags w/ a couple box touches between each

Pull/push/hop - sole/laces/hop alternating feet

Right triangles - right sole/inside right/hop/inside left

Left triangles - opposite above

Bow Ties - right sole/inside right/hop/left sole/inside left/hop

Two foot V’s (laces) - right sole/left laces/hop/left sole/right

laces/hop - making the letter V

Two foot V’s (insides) - same as above but inside foot instead of laces

One foot V’s (laces) -  right sole/hop turn right/push right -

alternating feet - making the letter V

One foot V’s (insides) - same as above but push w/ insides

Pull back Cruyff’s - sole, inside behind planted leg, opposite little

toe - alternating feet

Taps

Tap/Tap/Scissor/Scissor

Lateral explosive taps

Practice Example #2:

Figure 8’s cone dribbling - two cones 3 yards

apart......1-1.5 minutes work/15-30 seconds rest

boxing 8’s

right big toe/left big toe 8’s

right little toe/right big toe 8’s

left little toe/left big toes 8’s

right little toe/left little toe 8’s

forward taps 8’s

5-10 minutes juggle challenges - what's your top number during this time

left/right/left/right

off foot only

waterfalls - one right/two left/three right/four left/etc

ladders - one right/one left/two right/two left/etc

around the worlds

over the head only

below the waist only

depending on the challenge I will record their high scored each week

and track or we will finish w/ a daily team challenge/goal/target

number......
