Sprint & Capture (Futsal: Basic Level - U11) (Patreon)

Content: Improve the relationship with the ball through dribbling as quickly as possible without losing control. Coordination, laterality, and agility.

Organization: Positioned as shown in the figure. At least one ball per player.

Description: At the coach's signal, players move towards the opponent's area with the goal of "stealing" the opponent's ball (orienting the dribble towards a target).

Variants: Place various obstacles along the path, a defender in the midfield zone to block progression, dribbling with the "weaker" foot, etc.

Desired Behaviors: Attackers with the ball - Do not lose control of the ball, quickly orient the action towards the target. Defender - Exhibits defensive behaviors that prevent opponents' progression, demonstrating correct foot positioning relative to the location of the ball and the space to be protected.

Points to emphasize by the coach:

• Dribble with the head up and eyes focused on the target;

• Keep the ball within the motor space;

• The defender should defend with one foot in front of the other, trying to prevent the progression of players with the ball.
