Random form of motor skills training refers to the occurrence of the need to perform specific movements with constantly changing variables (ball direction, ball height, body positioning, execution speed, etc.) and with constantly changing and the time the skills are performed. Random form is found in all training conditions in the form of small or large sided games.
Soccer drills and practices related to transfer motor skills to game situations:
An exercise that improves your players' basic technical skills by using "randomness" is listed below. This exercise also works as a perfect form of specific warm-up, especially for high level players.
Create a box 10 x 10 meters with 4 cones.
Perform the exercise with groups of 7-10 players.
Play inside the square with one contact. Two players are defenders and try to cut the ball, the others function as attackers by changing passes inside the square. The attackers are placed on the sides of the square with a player always in the center to support the sides. Any player who make mistake becomes defender and the last defender who came in change him.
Defensive players hold a colored blip on their hands.
Exercise intensity: 60-75% M.H.R.
Exercise Duration: 10'.
Exercise quantity: 1-2 sets.
Stop: 1'-2'.
If you find that your team is making a lot of mistakes on short distance ground passess try to improve your players with a small sided game where they focus on this skill.
Insist on the following exercise for quite some time even as an extension of warm-up. Capturing the wrong kinetic patterns of executing this particular skill from the brain at an early age can even be an insurmountable obstacle to correction.
If your players are adults and have already learned to perform this skill, then performing it under the pressure of space and time by randomly displaying the speed and direction variables of the ball, different body postures, etc. can improve them.
Divide your team into 2 groups of 8v8 up to 10v10 in a small space of 30x30m up to 40x40m and create gates with small cones.
Give the limitation of playing the game with ground passes only and of achieving a goal by passing the ball from through a gate to a teammate.
Exercise intensity: 70-85% M.H.R.
Exercise Duration: 4'-6 '
Exercise Quantity: 1-2 sets
Exercise break: 1'-2 '
