Quick pass game (10 mins)

Organisation:

3 players; 1 ball; 3 cones

Objective:

First time passing, combined with accuracy and movement

Description:

This drill can be done using any distance, but Barcelona FC use this as part of a warm up using cones about 3 metres apart, in a line.

It looks complicated on here, but is very simple.

- Player A has the ball, and passes to player B

- Player A moves slightly to the side, and receives a first time pass back from Player B

- Player B then moves to the cone where Player A started

- Player A passes to Player C and follows the ball

- Player C passes the ball all the way up to Player B and moves to the middle cone

- Player B passes the ball to Player C and moves slightly to the side, and recives a first time pass back from Player C

- The sequence continues

Coaching points:

- Players to be on their toes ready to move and receive the ball

- Accurate passing using the inside of their feet

SSG - possession (10 mins)

Objective:

To develop the first touch and awareness of available space

Description:

In an area about 20 x 20 metres, we have two teams playing a 7 v 3 possesion game. There are 5 red players on the outside of the playing area, with 2 of their team mates inside.

The red players (attackers) seek to retain possession with the help of the 2 inside players, while the blue players (defenders) try to win the ball.

The inside players must use only 2 touches, so they have to be aware of the available space in order to make their first touch towards this space. The outside players are limited to 1 touch (dependant upon ability). The player that loses possession swaps roles with one of the defenders.

Coaching points:

- Players should constantly be moving, trying to find space to receive the ball

- Players need to take advantage of the free space created by the numerical advantage
