The Dribble Battle
In this exercise, the SmartGoals are positioned close together, randomly, all over a smart part of the field. One SmartGoal of each colour (blue and orange) is activated and will illuminate randomly. Two players challenge each other to see who can score most in 1 minute, by dribbling through them. | Skill: dribbling, ball control, awareness | Coach on: speed, focus, execution, motivation | Physical: lower extremity, especially calfs |
Keeper Footwork & Kicking Skills
The SmartGoals are placed around the goal in a circle. The goalkeeper has to anticipate to the incoming ball. He/she has to process the ball by passing it through on of the illuminating SmartGoals. A possible variant on this exercise is to alternate the passing with saving. | Skill: passing, awareness | Coach on: attentiveness, execution | Physical: buttock muscles, calfs |
Dynamic Receive Circle
Behind each SmartGoal there is 1 player with a ball. When a SmartGoal is illuminating, the player behind that activated goal has to pass through the SmartGoal to the player in the center. The player that passed the ball has to go to the center and the player that received the ball has to run (with the ball) to the spot of the passing player. | Skill: passing, dribbling | Coach on: intensity, ball speed, dribbling speed | Physical: lower extremity |
Midfield Receive
Two midfielders are standing in the middle of the field. The first player (on the side) has to pass the ball to the midfielder. This midfielder turns and dribbles through the illuminated SmartGoal. After that, he/she passes the ball to the player on the other side. The other midfielder has to run through the newly illuminated SmartGoal before receiving it from the player on the side.
