Physical

• Defenders performed the highest amount of jogging, skipping and shuffling movements and spent a significantly less amount of time sprinting and running than the other positions. As with strikers, defenders fall to the ground the most and are required to get up quickly. The defender especially the centre back performs a high amount of jumping (heading the ball), though compared to the striker the defender is more often jumping backwards than forwards. Defenders also need to be strong to compete with the striker.

• It was also shown that there were lower levels of shuffling movements and high levels of possession actions in midfielders. This is in contrast to the strikers who had a high level of possession actions as well and nearly the same amount of sprinting but executed a significantly higher level of shuffling movements than midfielders.

Passing• Passing the ball in football allows your team to keep

possession of the ball and find holes in the opposing team’s defence. It's the Tiki Taka style of play. This is what Barcelona does 70% of the match sometimes, just keep the ball from the opposing team.

The way in which you pass the football depends on several things, such as:• Where the ball is going - is intended target of the pass

close or far• What do you want the player to do when the ball gets

there - this gets back to the pace of the pass• Who’s in the way - where it the defender• What part of the foot you use

Xabi Alonso has a 90% pass accuracy in the Bundesliga this season

ShootingHead down – eye on the ball.Tell your children that they have look up to pick out their target and then look back to the football as they actually shoot. This is because it is virtually impossible to strike the ball correctly if you're not looking at it. Plant non-striking foot along side the ball.If you plant your foot behind the ball your kicking foot is coming up as you strike. This will result in a chip shot. As your children progress you may well want to show them how to do this, but to start with we need to practice keeping shots low and straight.Strike the middle of the ball.If you kick the ball below the middle the ball will rise, if your child 'tops' it the ball will just roll along the ground.Keep the knee of the kicking leg over the ball.This technique determines the correct body position. Often, children will be standing too far behind the ball when they shoot. This results in too little power. Approach the ball slightly from the side.

DribblingThe basic dribble in football involves propelling the ball in front of oneself with a series of small kicks. It is best practised by starting slowly and building up speed. Because it requires the use of both feet, many beginners find themselves held back by their ‘weak’ foot. The only answer to this is practice – and it does get better.

A large part of dribbling technique comes in shielding the ball from opposition players. Beginner dribblers often find themselves kicking the ball farther when they want to speed up, exposing themselves to tackles. The key to dribbling quickly is not to use more power but to make contact more frequently by moving the feet faster.

Leonel Messi has won 4 ballon’d’ors in a row due to his lethal dribbling and deadly decision making

Goalkeeping1. Ball Distribution,Getting the ball out to your

teammates quickly and accurately can give your side a real edge at the other end of the field. Rapid distribution from a goalkeeper can launch a counterattack that can put the opposition on the back foot and lead to a chance, or even a goal being scored. Many attacking moves start with a goalkeeper’s throw or kick, so once you have made a save or caught the ball, look around you to see if there are teammates in space. If throwing under arm, roll the ball out at pace.

2. Command of Penalty Area It is important to know where you are standing in relation to the ball, and also be aware of the position of your defenders and the opposition’s attackers.

3. Talk to your defenders during/before a match and also in training. It is important for a goalkeeper to know which positions his defenders are going to be taking up and which players they are marking.

4. One-On-One SituationsIf an opposition attacker beats the offside trap or outruns your defenders and finds himself clean through, it is important to make the goal as small as possible.

Defending• 1. Stand the player up and don't dive in.• 2. See the player and the ball at all times. Focus on the ball

when defending one versus one.• 3. Keep the player in front of you.• 4. Bend your knees and be on your toes.• 5. Be prepared to move backwards and or to the side quickly.• 6. Listen to your teammates behind you. They can give you

directions, such as steering the player to the touchline, inside or to make a tackle when there's an opportunity.

• 7. Work to make attackers make mistake - have patience and don't fall for feints.

• 8. Force the attacker into pressure - where there are other defenders.

• 9. Work to keep the ball in front of you - it's fine to let an attacker have the ball with his back turned to you away from goal. No need to foul.

• 10. If support is behind, increase pressure and look to win the ball.

Skills• ONE• Always practice skills using BOTH feet and in

fact sometimes do sessions using ONLY your weaker foot.

• TWO• Find a rebound surface or wall and practice

passing against it. It's important to receive the ball using all parts of both feet. Concentrate on adjusting your feet quickly to get in line with the ball to be able to receive and pass quickly and smoothly.

• THREE• Set up cones between 8 to 10 metres apart

and practice running quickly with the ball (with your eyes up) and then quickly changing direction or turning with the ball. When changing or turning, transfer the ball to the ‘safe side’ away from an imaginary defender. Later introduce feints before changing direction or turning.

Pace bowling• Hang onto the cricket ball as long as possible. By doing this

you create a large arm pull, which maximises the 'catapult' effect. The last thing you do when you bowl is let the ball go

• Try not to get your arm overly high. If you imagine a 12-hour clock, as viewed from the batsman's end, the bowling arm can be any hour before 12 but not a minute past. For every minute you go past 12 o'clock you are affectively leaning across to bowl and this reduces both your speed and accuracy. If you have a very high action, you are likely to only bowl inswing. If you find this is the case, try to lower your arm to around 11 o'clock

• A front on bowler tends to have more ground speed than a sideways bowler. This is because a front on bowler doesn't have to jump so high as they do not need to turn their back foot sideways. If you do need to jump at the crease, we are looking for long jump rather than high jump. Simply ensure that you do not lean back when your back foot lands either. This makes it harder to transfer your weight from back foot to front foot

• Your non-bowling arm is far more important than your bowling arm. Use it properly by driving it out and down so it passes your side.

Spin bowling• Off-spin is the most popular method of spin in

cricket.• An off-break delivery turns from the off side to the

leg side when bowled at a right-handed batsman.• The spin is generated by the first and second fingers

of the right hand.• The more revolutions you can put on the ball, the

better chance you have of getting more turn when the ball pitches.

• The middle joints of the index and middle fingers are well spread across the seam. The ball rests against the third finger but the thumb has little involvement.

• Turning the wrist and the index finger generate the spin on the ball, turning the ball in a clockwise direction.

• Use your first two fingers to give the ball a good "rip" at the point of delivery.

Batting• 1st Batting Tip – Keep your eyes level, it’s been shown that having your eyes level helps speed up

your reaction time, as it makes it easier for the brain to process the incoming information.• 2nd Batting Tip – Your first movement should be from the shoulders towards the line of the ball.

The rest of your body will follow naturally and will help ensure you get correctly inline with the ball.

• 3rd Batting Tip – Play the delivery based on its length, if it’s short; even if it’s in line with the wickets it should be ‘tonked away’ (Andrew Flintoff style) to the boundary. The same principle applies with full deliveries and half volleys.

• 4th Batting Tip – One of the most important things is to watch the ball from bowlers hand in run up all the way to the bat. By watching the ball in the bowler’s hand you can see what the bowler may be trying to do with the ball. Try to identify which is the shiny side or rough side, so you can determine which way they may be trying to swing the ball. The same applies with spinners; but also make sure you closely watch the wrist movement to determine the type and direction of spin.

• 5th Batting Tip – When batting against spinners, try doing an initial ‘forward press’, making an initial half-step on to the front foot as the bowler bowls. This will give you good base to play from and help give you quicker feet.

• 6th Batting Tip – It is essential to maintain a solid base when batting and to be in a solid position when you play the ball. If you watch for example Brain Lara play a cover drive, he has a solid base from which he plays the stroke, he is perfectly balanced.
