[For 3rd to 6th Grade Elementary Students] Individual Tactics & Skill Improvement Camp
On June 20 (Sat) and 21 (Sun), we held the "Individual Tactics & Skill Improvement Camp" over two days at Fukagawa Ground.
This time, we conducted a total of six sessions including lectures, and held both the Field Player (FP) course and the Goalkeeper (GK) course simultaneously.In an environment with specialized goalkeepers, training was conducted aiming to improve the level for each position.
The theme this time was "Awareness" and "Attacking and Defending in Front of the Goal and on the Sides."
In soccer, skills such as shooting, dribbling, and passing are of course important, but the ability to judge "when, where, and how to use" those skills is also necessary.
This time, we combined lectures and practical exercises to organize what to observe during play, how to make decisions, and how to execute them.
Even in situations during practice or matches when someone asks, "Did you see that just now?",if you do not understand "what," "when," and "how" to observe, it is not easy to apply it effectively in actual play.
In the lecture, we reviewed the key points of "what," "when," and "how" to observe, and then consciously practiced these on the field.
During training, there were also moments when the players responded to the coach's questions by addressing the key points learned in the lecture.
It was impressive to see the children organizing what they had learned in their minds and trying to connect it to their play.
On the second day, we reviewed the key points of "attacking and defending in front of the goal" and "attacking and defending on the sides" while watching video footage.
We organized what the player with the ball is aiming for and how the players without the ball should be involved before heading into training on the field.
By playing with awareness of what should be done in each area, there were many dynamic moments in the match, such as powerful plays approaching the goal and breakthroughs from the sides.
During the focused two-day period, the children interacted with new friends and motivated each other as they engaged in training.
Let’s keep in mind what we learned this time during our daily practice and matches, and connect it to even higher-quality play!
