Tunnel Vision

I have recently looked at a way at getting my players to lift their heads whilst running with the ball, as most kids are unable to do two things at once I found this session very useful as it forces the player to rely on their ball skills and lift the head up avoiding bumping into others.

The session itself can be used for any number of players and has to be as quite compact, maybe 20 yards in length and 10 wide with 3 rows of players

Keep the progressions to 2 rotations of the course and then move onto next progression.

The different progression can be:-

• Stronger foot

• Weaker foot

• Kick ups

• Other skills

• Both feet

To move this session on further, move 2 players to the sides and their objective is to complete a successful whilst the other players carry on running up and down,
