Soccer Training Tactics and ideas
PHYSICAL PREPARATIONIn Brazil, physical preparation means fitness. Fitness covers all physical aspects needed to play the game: speed, quickness, strength, balance, endurance, agility, explosiveness and many more.By creating a juggling routine with the Brasilian Futebol that involves a variety of touches and movements players' can develop skill and athleticism as it relates to the game. The thousands of touches that a player will execute in the juggling routine will improve the overall coordination of the beginning player while refining the touch and, what we call, the kinesthetic awareness of the accomplished player.An important quality of the Brasilian Futebol is the bounce. Incorporated into the juggling exercise, the bounce helps beginning or lesser skilled players develop confidence faster. Using the bounce gives players time to gather themselves between touches and adjust to the situation encouraging the use of proper mechanics and technique. They see the ball for longer so movements are more fluid .This leads to a higher success rate thus leading to accelerated skills development. (see the basic juggling program)The accomplished player can develop rigorous, fast-paced routines that stress: a quality first touch, agility, physical technical and tactical speed, fitness and a determination to succeed. At the advanced level, incorporating the bounce into a routine the player can refine game related moves and timing while developing a rhythm related to the various conditions of the fast paced game.
THE INDIVIDUAL ROUTINEA. The Basic TouchesPlayers will build a random individual routine evolving around the Futebol. We will outline some basic touches for the juggling routine but strive for player creativity to fuel the action. The first premise regards the "bounce". Players will use the bounce as part of their routine. In essence what we will do is juggle with a bounce. Using the bounce is very important because we will build everything else off of it. The objective of the juggling routine is simple: Keep the Futebol bouncing (live). Players build the routine by adding specific types of touches using various parts of their bodies. These touches will at times, keep the Futebol up, while other times the touches will propel the Futebol to the ground perpetuating the bounce.
Example:*Players will juggle the Futebol in the same manner as a regular soccer ball. Touches with the top of the foot or the thigh propel the Futebol into the air where we can let it bounce and move on to another type of touch.
* The Futebol is also driven to the ground to produce a bounce. This could be done with many parts of the body- sole of the foot, outside of the foot, inside of the foot, the knee, head, etc. By utilizing a variety of touches to keep the Futebol alive' we can promote specific motor skills development Through repetitive touches the players develop control of their bodies leading to better control of the ball. Specific demands increase the level of focus of the juggling players.
Example:* Players will focus on using the bottom of the foot to slap the Futebol to the ground to create the bounce, always keeping it "live". Now they will progress to specific parts of the foot, - heel tap, toe tap, outside of the foot inside of the foot.
* Now alternate left foot and right foot touches. Specific demands will improve the player's ability to put his/her foot on the ball. Players will simultaneously develop tracking ability (eye-foot coordination) as well as the muscular coordination to control how they come in contact with the ball. As players learn more touches, their ability to create their own variations grows. The players now work to master as great a number of touches as possible- Keep the Futebol alive.B. Adding MovementPlayers will now incorporate movement around the Futebol as they use their variety of touches and bounces. Each bounce allows the player an opportunity to devise some way to intertwine the movement of their body, the bounces of the Futebol and their own touches.
Example:* As the player juggles and touches the Futebol - as the ball hits the ground the player can now do a "step over" move over the bounce.
* By creating a higher bounce the player can duck under the Futebol from one side to the other.
* A36Odegree turn as the Futebol takes a bounce. As the player develop more touches, they also develop their coordination and create fluid body movements within their routine. Again the objective remains to keep the Futebol alive.C. Increasing the FocusAs the players become more comfortable with the Futebol, the demands of the routine increase and very much refine both the players touch and body control. Altering the environment in which the routine takes place will achieve higher focus.
Example:* The player will now perform the routine within the restrictions of a grid. This static routine increases in difficulty as the space gets smaller. Each touch, each movement must be a little more precise in order to remain inside the grid.
* Each player's routine will now be unrestricted but with purpose. In essence, the player will take the Futebol for a walk or jog. The players must incorporate the touches and movements while directionally moving the Futebol with purpose. This "dynamic" routine improves the players' abilities to use their touches to create specific responses with the Futebol. The first touch becomes a greater part of the focus.
* One player will keep 2 Futebols alive simultaneously.
