Tactical Problems in soccer

Tacticle problem: keeping possession of the ball.

Game:1 Pirates of the Pugg

Set up:
Build a circle approximately the size of the center circle with a Pugg Goal in the middle of the circle. The actual size of the circle will vary depending on the age and skill level of the players. With all players in the playing area, dedicate 9 players with the ball, and 3 players without a ball will be the "Pirates".

 

Instructions:
Instruct the "Pirates" without the ball to defend the players with the balls. Once the Pirate wins the ball, they attempt to score on the Pugg goal in the middle of the circle. If the Pirate scores the goal, that player too becomes a Pirate. Play continues until the last player with the ball wins. If the pirates have a hard time getting started, the coach can help the pirates at first.

Game 2: World Cup

Set up:

The game is played in the 18yard goltender box. Have a supply of balls just off of the playing area. Players can be split in to teams of 2 or 3 or this game can be played as individuals.

Instructions:

The coach should serve a ball into the grid. Each team plays at the same time against the other teams. The team to score sits out for the remainder of that round and advances to the next round. The last team to score in each round is out of the tournament.

Modifications:
Players or team member that go outside of the boundries are automatically out
Players or a team member is out if they shot over or wide of the net.

Tactical Problems in Basketball

Tactical Problem: controling the dribble during stops

Red Light, Green Light: This is a fun way to get students to work on dribbling and also to work on stopping with the ball in a controlled fashion. All players need a ball and will start at the same baseline. The coach will stand at the other baseline, calling red light or green light. When green light is called players must control their dripple as they make their way down the court. Once the coach yells RED LIGHT players must stop dribbling the ball and stop moving in a controlled fashion. Players that are caught still ,moving will have to start at the baseline over again. This is repeated untill all players have made it the other baseline. Once all players have made it to the other side, ask them to switch hands. (right hands use their left and lwft hands use their right).

This game can also be modified to make it the first one to the opposite baseline wins.


This next game works on multiple skills at once. The basic 2 offense vs 1 defense.

All players will be split into two seperate teams. Blues will go towards one basket while Reds will go towards another basket. Each team will have a volunteer to be the defender for the first round. Each team will form two equal lines in the middle of the gym. Each team will complete the same drill at the same time. 2 offensive players will head towards the basket from centre. Players must complete atleast one pass. A player must come to a complete stop to pass the ball to the second offensive player. The players are allowed to pivot and pump fakes to get the defender off balance. Players go until the defender has control of the ball or the offence has scored a basket. The player must be in the key to score in the basket. The player that shot and scored the ball will become the new defender. This drill can either go for a set time or till each player has been a defender.

the object of this drill is to work on being down a defender on the rush and for player to plant their feet, control the dribble, and work on faking the defender to increase your odds of scoring.

Game Performance Assessment Instrument

Game Performance Assessment Instrument

Game: 4 VS 4 Volleyball ______                             Class:__________________________

Evaluator:__________________                            Date(s):________________________

Levels of Performance:

4 – player shows an observable and  highly effective play.

Players Names	Skill execution	Decision making	Off Ball movement	On Ball Movement

Comments:









This Assessment chart is my interpertation of an already created chart. I have made this chart to evaluate the players abilities, knowledge, and cogniative ability during game play. This chart would be great to track the improvement of players and also to give the coach/teacher an over view of the players abilities to pin point key areas that are in need of improvements. This chart can eassily be modified to assess specific abilities such as just wanting to evaluate the players movement on and off the ball, if you are wanting to assess only one tacticle problem at a time.

This guy is amazing
