Training of the decision-making behavior for back position players (TU 31)

This training unit focuses on improving the decision-making behavior of the back position players. Following warm-up and a short game, the players repeatedly practice shooting feints to their throwing hand and to their non-throwing hand side, which will be combined with a reaction exercise later on during the goalkeeper warm-up shooting phase. In the subsequent individual offense exercise, the players practice their decision-making behavior depending on the respective defense player’s position. In two small group exercises, passing decisions will be added, implemented and subsequently combined with the movements the players practiced before. The training unit consists of the following key exercises: - Warm-up/Stretching (individual exercise: 10 minutes/total time: 10 minutes) - Short game (10/20) - Ball familiarization (10/30) - Goalkeeper warm-up shooting (10/40) - Offense/Individual (10/50) - Offense/Small groups (12/62) - Offense/Small groups (13/75) - Offense/Small groups (15/90) Training unit total time: 90 minutes Training unit requirements: Intermediate requirement (youth teams under 15 years of age and adult teams)
