    welcome back to catalan soccer guys i'm
  • 00:00:01
    catalan ben and we're back today with
  • 00:00:03
    the perfect pre-match
  • 00:00:05
    warm-up so i see a lot of coaches out
  • 00:00:07
    there and fellow coaches who are asking
  • 00:00:09
    what should i do before a game my kids
  • 00:00:11
    start the game slowly how do i get them
  • 00:00:13
    up to speed quickly
  • 00:00:14
    how do i warm them up in a really
  • 00:00:16
    relevant way an appropriate way but that
  • 00:00:18
    gets them playing quickly
  • 00:00:20
    so here it is here's a really good drill
  • 00:00:21
    for you that's really simple
  • 00:00:23
    it's very easy to set up it's quite easy
  • 00:00:25
    to follow and understand so it doesn't
  • 00:00:26
    take too long
  • 00:00:27
    and you can use this week in week out to
  • 00:00:30
    get the kids
  • 00:00:31
    up to speed before the kickoff
  • 00:00:40
    okay so this drill is a really simple
  • 00:00:42
    area to set up all you need is two large
  • 00:00:45
    rectangles
  • 00:00:46
    i usually go with about 10 yards deep
  • 00:00:48
    and about 20 yards wide
  • 00:00:49
    it gives us lots of room to play but you
  • 00:00:51
    can vary that
  • 00:00:52
    depending on the number of plays that
  • 00:00:54
    you're going to have involved in the
  • 00:00:55
    warm-up so for coaches with six or seven
  • 00:00:57
    players you might make it smaller
  • 00:00:58
    if you've got a big squad of 12 to 14
  • 00:01:01
    plays you might need it a little bigger
  • 00:01:02
    manage it but make sure it's two large
  • 00:01:04
    rectangles
  • 00:01:06
    the second thing i use either slalom
  • 00:01:08
    poles or you can use large superdome
  • 00:01:10
    volcano
  • 00:01:10
    style cones or you can just use small
  • 00:01:12
    cones if you need to but a big
  • 00:01:14
    nice obvious obstacle in the middle of
  • 00:01:16
    the pitch that the ball needs to go
  • 00:01:18
    through
  • 00:01:18
    now the objective of the game is very
  • 00:01:20
    similar to a rondo so
  • 00:01:22
    say for instance here we have the yellow
  • 00:01:23
    team who are keeping the ball
  • 00:01:25
    for a certain number of passes away from
  • 00:01:27
    a red player
  • 00:01:29
    when they complete that certain number
  • 00:01:30
    of passes their job is then to pass the
  • 00:01:32
    ball
  • 00:01:33
    through the poles or through the cones
  • 00:01:34
    in the middle over to the opposite side
  • 00:01:37
    as soon as that ball transfers over to
  • 00:01:39
    the opposite side
  • 00:01:40
    the red team then become the possession
  • 00:01:42
    team and a yellow player has to go in
  • 00:01:45
    there and chase the ball down and try
  • 00:01:46
    and press
  • 00:01:47
    it gets kids moving the ball very
  • 00:01:49
    quickly it gets pressing players
  • 00:01:51
    with some urgency trying to win the ball
  • 00:01:53
    back and it makes sure the ball's moving
  • 00:01:54
    at high speed keeping lots of players
  • 00:01:56
    involved
  • 00:01:57
    if the defensive player manages to win
  • 00:01:58
    the ball they have to play the ball back
  • 00:02:00
    into their own half
  • 00:02:01
    so the yellow player here wins the ball
  • 00:02:03
    back plays it back into the yellow half
  • 00:02:05
    and then goes back to join his team at
  • 00:02:08
    that point
  • 00:02:08
    a red player ideally not the same player
  • 00:02:11
    who pressed the first time
  • 00:02:12
    goes into the opposing half to then try
  • 00:02:14
    and press the ball too
  • 00:02:16
    it gets kids moving the ball quickly you
  • 00:02:18
    can put a real emphasis on the depth
  • 00:02:20
    and the width that they are playing with
  • 00:02:22
    in that framework
  • 00:02:23
    to make sure the ball's moving correctly
  • 00:02:25
    and make sure the plays are spaced out
  • 00:02:27
    well
  • 00:02:27
    and it puts a real earnest on the
  • 00:02:29
    passing and the quality of the pass that
  • 00:02:31
    goes into your teammate or through the
  • 00:02:33
    poles in the middle
  • 00:02:34
    and then we build from there so there's
  • 00:02:36
    a lot of different ways that you can
  • 00:02:37
    change the game and make it slightly
  • 00:02:39
    harder
  • 00:02:39
    or increase the intensity of the game
  • 00:02:41
    the first way is to
  • 00:02:43
    increase the number of passes required
  • 00:02:44
    before the ball goes through the pulse
  • 00:02:46
    i usually start with something simple
  • 00:02:48
    like three kids should get plenty of
  • 00:02:49
    success and start to enjoy the game
  • 00:02:51
    because they'll score quite a lot of
  • 00:02:52
    points that way
  • 00:02:53
    then we go to five or it might be seven
  • 00:02:55
    it might be ten we can gradually
  • 00:02:57
    increase that number
  • 00:02:58
    making things difficult but as you
  • 00:03:00
    increase the number of passes
  • 00:03:01
    it can become a little bit slow if the
  • 00:03:04
    pressing player just can't get near the
  • 00:03:05
    ball
  • 00:03:06
    and they're keeping it away from for a
  • 00:03:07
    long period of time
  • 00:03:09
    so at that point we also increase the
  • 00:03:11
    number of pressing players
  • 00:03:12
    so as the ball transfers over to the
  • 00:03:14
    opposite half we might say now that two
  • 00:03:16
    players can go into press rather than
  • 00:03:18
    one
  • 00:03:19
    that increases the intensity of the
  • 00:03:20
    press it means the ball has to move more
  • 00:03:22
    quickly
  • 00:03:23
    and it means there's a bit more pressure
  • 00:03:25
    on the players that have got the ball
  • 00:03:26
    to play quickly and think quickly for
  • 00:03:29
    all the more advanced players there's a
  • 00:03:30
    couple of other variations
  • 00:03:32
    that you can do sometimes i'll use a
  • 00:03:34
    futsal in this practice and because of
  • 00:03:35
    the heavier ball
  • 00:03:37
    it takes a bit more punch you've got put
  • 00:03:39
    more power behind it and it keeps the
  • 00:03:40
    ball on the floor nicely
  • 00:03:42
    to stop the ball bouncing around too
  • 00:03:43
    high with any bad first touches
  • 00:03:46
    the other thing that you can do is
  • 00:03:47
    reduce the number of touches that each
  • 00:03:49
    player is allowed
  • 00:03:50
    so if you were to take the number of
  • 00:03:51
    touches down to three as a maximum or
  • 00:03:53
    even
  • 00:03:54
    two touch then that puts an onus on the
  • 00:03:56
    kids to move the ball fast
  • 00:03:57
    they don't get much time to think and
  • 00:03:59
    they have to plan their next move
  • 00:04:01
    before that ball arrives and like with
  • 00:04:04
    any rondo style practice
  • 00:04:06
    you can put things like bounce passes
  • 00:04:07
    one touch passes clever flicks into the
  • 00:04:10
    game
  • 00:04:10
    to keep the game fun and exciting if you
  • 00:04:13
    make this game slightly competitive
  • 00:04:14
    where you're asking teams to outscore
  • 00:04:16
    the opponent then it's a great way to go
  • 00:04:18
    with it and you'll always get a bit of
  • 00:04:19
    drama and a bit of fun
  • 00:04:20
    when someone completes their seven
  • 00:04:22
    passes or ten passes whatever the
  • 00:04:23
    challenge is
  • 00:04:24
    goes to play it through the polls and
  • 00:04:25
    they miss not only have they just given
  • 00:04:28
    the ball away but they've also
  • 00:04:30
    given away an opportunity to score a
  • 00:04:31
    point and now they need to run and go
  • 00:04:33
    get the ball back too
  • 00:04:34
    so you'll have a great time with it i
  • 00:04:36
    promise you the kids will enjoy it'll be
  • 00:04:38
    lots of fun there's good intensity
  • 00:04:39
    there's lots of passing and sharing of
  • 00:04:41
    the ball and it's a great way to warm
  • 00:04:43
    the kids up
  • 00:04:43
    and get them into match mud i hope this
