Kateel Quereshi • 6d (edited)I use land mines with the younger players I coach. Haven’t used the flat marker approach to get an extra life and also doing some ball mastery, so a nice additional. As a progression you could add a “tagger” (with a ball too) and the players need to get into the safe zone to get away from them and effectively have a rest.2Reply

Brian Willis • 6dI’m always surprised how much my U12’s enjoy stuff like this every now and then. I’ve been seeing stuff about session activators recently as a way to shake things up since aotnif training sessions can be very similar week to week.1Reply

Jamie Birch🔥 • 6d@Brian Willis i’ve used exercises in Kev’s game model aimed at younger players with adults. Probably best to look at it from an ability perspective rather than age0Reply

Brian Willis • 6d@Jamie Birch 💯. My boys are mostly at a “Master the Opponent” level but things from the lower game model can definitely help them. Like Uncle Kev says, you can use a bit from both.1Reply

Ross Whitehead🔥 • 6dWe didn’t do landmines quite like the drill described above, but we did do a layout similar as part of a larger collection of agility/dribbling/ball mastery drills we used as the warm-up in training.If you didn’t have the cones laid out correctly, the sneaky ones would dribble through the easiest path.1Reply

Ross Whitehead🔥 • 6d@Jamie Birch It was part 4 of a 5 part circuit around half a 7-a-side pitch.
- Dribbling zig-zag around cones
- Pass the ball to a coach and receive return pass (a short pass and move)
- The coach then gave them a ball mastery move to do
- This is like the landmines. They had to dribble through the tightly packed cones, get out the other side, play a 1-2 with another coach to setup
- A shot at goal.
We would repeat that for 10 minutes.Nothing like landmines at all now I come to think of it! 😄2Reply

Brian Willis • 6dThis is one that is harder for me to set up coaching solo with no time between my training and the group before. My boys require too much supervision for me to set it up while they do something else.1Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • 6dI &%^%&%&&% Love this!The main points about landmines are:
- 1 ball each
- Engaging their imagination
- Encouraging friendly competition
and you are introducing players to football in a fun way.2Reply
