Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Passing, Moving and Creating Space

Passing, Moving and Creating Space (20 mins)

1.) Set up 3 equal rectangles within the area

2.) Have 4 players in each section (may vary depending on how many players participate) in different coloured bibs (in this case red, blue and green)

3.) The players in section B (middle) will always be the defending team

4.) If section C (green team) starts with the ball they must put together at least 3 passes together before playing the ball into section A (red team)

5.) 2 of the players from section B (blue team) can go into section C to try and win the ball off the green team. The remaining 2 blue players have to try and cut out the pass through the middle into section A

6.) If the blue team win the ball they swap sections with the team who conceded possession and they become the new defensive team.

Progressions:

1.) Limit the players to one touch passing

2.) Increase the number of passes that have to be made before the ball can be passed into the far end zone

3.) Allow the defending team to take 3 players into one of the end zones to defend

4.) Weak foot only to playt the final ball into the end zone
