Woodbury Soccer Club

Session is the first session of the year for this group.  It is designed to introduce players to one another and evaluate players.  Based upon these evaluations and the curriculum we will plan future sessions.

Session is designed to focus on passing/receiving.  After first session it was very noticeable that players struggled to position their body and use their first touch in a way to do the next action, shoot/pass/dribble.  A lot the session will focus on players shaping their body to be able to receive the ball and see the biggest part of the field they can.

This document is what we did with our U13B C2 team camp.  The camp was held over 3 days interrupted by some less then desirable weather.

These sessions had a limited amount of build-up with the major intent to play the activities and teach within them.

Observations
Activities required players compete regularly against each other
It was noticeable that in many situations players were willing to compete while attacking but when defending their was an expectation that someone else will do it
With the 5v5 activities on the last day the Win by 1 game called "+1" was a great for forcing the players to use their heads dependent on the game situation.  The "Man to Man" game has some merits but it didn't work particularly well.

Session is designed to get players thinking about utilizing a third player to attack.
