Stage 1

Emphasis: Passing, movement and support the pass

Area: A 10 x 10m central area with 4 5 x 5m areas areas on the outside, one on each side.

Players: All

Equipment: Cones, balls

Setup: A central playing area of 10 x 10m is setup surrounded by 4 5 x 5m smaller areas. 2 players are placed in the larger area while a min of 3 players are placed in the smaller surrounding areas. There are two balls in play.

How To: The teams with the balls pass between themselves. Once identified, one of the teams then must pass to the furthest player away from them in the central area. That player then combines with the other player in the area who then passes the ball out to the area on the opposite side.

The waiting players with the other ball must watch and be ready to pass the ball into the central area once the first ball has left the area.

Players are switched out of the central playing area after a designated period of time.

A 30 x 30 yard field with 4 small goals on each side.

Four 4 yard gates are placed 5 yards infront of the goals.

Two teams are in diagonally opposite corners.

The teams play:

1. 1v1 to two opposite goals

2. 2v2 to opposite goals

3. 3v3 to all four goals

4. 4v4 to all four goals

All games are conditioned that the attacker must drinbble through or pass through a gate in front of the goal to score or pass throught he gate for a team mate to score.

VARIATION

Killer Pass Game

In 2v2, 3v3 or 4v4 games goals can only be scored one touch from a pass through the gate in front of the goal.

COACH TIP

Take away the gates to make it easier to score. Keep individual and team scores.

PLAYER TIPS

Communication within a team is vital. Help your team mates at all times especially when you're not on the ball.

5v8 Phase of Play (30 mins)

Setup:

Half field - 50x70

Defensive team - 1-4-3

Attacking team - 2-3 (with 2 outside backs ready to enter)

1v1 zones in the corners

Activity:

Outside backs serve the ball into attacking team and can be used to keep possession.

Defending team tries to win ball and dribble through gates.

If attacking team gets ball into corners (1v1 zones), only 1 defender allowed. If defender wins ball, coach will serve in a cross anyway.

Coaching Points:

+ Deny central penetration defensively

+ Back 4 needs to work together to stay compact and connected.

+ Marking up in box once ball gets wide - touch-tight, ball-side, goal-side
